Zapdos

Hi all. I recently caught a modest zapdos with very good ivs;

hp-28
atk-30
def-22
speed-30
sp atk-30
sp def-18

its hidden power is fighting at 69 power.

What would some good evs be? In particular im looking for stats that i should aim for. Cheers.
 
Yeah ive cloned a few. I would use hp fighting in pearl 'cos it will be special, but in advance its physical and hes modest.
 
Moving to Ingame, even though EVs and stuff are asked for it still feels like something "In training", feel free to answer his questions with Competitive ideas. If you (Akayfortyseven) really feel this needs to be in CRMT then PM me and I'll move it back for you but as it is now it looks more like an IGRMT thread.
 
Hey. I just saw a thread like this in the Competitive discossion...

Anyways, Id just go for a baton passing set if you have HP Fighting. Its unfortunate your Zapdos is Modest this time around (and I never thought Id ever see this in my life).
 
Those IVs look good. First thing is, what set do you want for it? Do you want a Choice Bander set, a mixed sweeping set, or a special set for it? Or of course, you could wait until D/P comes out and trade it over to D/P and teach it Feather Rest.
 
Definitely clone it.

Traditional sweeper is something like this:

Zapdos @ Leftovers
EVs: 160 HP / 140 Spd / 208 SAtk

That's enough for 270 Speed although you may want to add more depending on what you want to outspeed.

Sleep Talker wants Calm, but Modest still works. Too bad your SDef IV isn't that great.

Zapdos @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP / 20 Spd / 60 SAtk / 176 SDef

And don't even bother with a CBer, you'll only have 375 max with CB on. Can't even 2KO Blissey and Snorlax. Besides, HP turns Special if you're using it in D/P.

Oh right. lol. That explains everything.

Anyways, that Zapdos is awesome, its just saddening that it has a physical Hidden Power. If you transfer it to DP, you will have a Zapdos that you will
1. Be able to beat trainers with ease using
2. Be able to trade for other near perfect Pokemon.

Definately make an army of them.
 
Indeed, Ive cloned around 10 so far. Il probably go with aragornbirds evs, thanks. Btw, it was from firered, so no baton pass (its VERY difficult to get a good one in XD).
 
if you can get a good one from xd use metal sound on him.

Yes, thanks for that... I hate it when people dont read the thread!

I was thinking of giving it t-bolt, light screen, toxic and sub for advance, and replace toxic with special hp fighting in dp. I want it to support my ResTalking heracross with light screen so il probably keep that.
 
No, it doesn't learn any special Flying moves. It does learn Ancientpower though, but that's completely lol especially since Ground resists Rock.
 
Damn shame Zapdos doesn't get Air Slash in DP. I guess T Wave > Toxic in Advance. Then in Dp something like Thunderbolt / HP Fight / Light Screen / Feather Rest. Or whatever. Depends if you still are going to use Hera in your team for DP and still want Light Screen support.
