When challenging Shadow Zapdos in Pokémon GO raids, prioritize counters with Ground (1.6×), Electric (1.6×), Ice (1.6×), Rock (1.6×) moves. For a safe victory against Shadow Zapdos, we recommend a lobby of 3 to 5 trainers running Level 35–40 Shadow and Mega counters. Always coordinate an active Mega Evolution (+30% ally damage boost) and Party Power for maximum DPS.
