Pokémon GO's Zapdos Day: How To Counter, Beat And Catch Zapdos

collected by :Syrena Smith

Here's how to counter, beat and catch Zapdos:Tyranitar: I know! But the arguably most useful Pokémon in the game remains arguably the most useful Pokémon against Zapdos. A double rock Tyranitar is the most powerful weapon in your arsenal for taking down Zapdos. You can get one with double rock moves, and so it will function more or less the same as a normal Golem. Rayquaza is a solidly useful Legendary, and Electric-types are vulnerable to Dragon-type moves.

Pokémon GO's Safari Zone Global Challenge Starts Tomorrow, Here's When And What You Need to Do

It's hot outside and Regice is melting with not too much trouble: it's to play Pokémon GO. The first of three events coincides with the Safari Zone event being held in Dortmund, Germany, and it starts tomorrow, June 30. All we know so far is that the event starts tomorrow, and so it's unclear exactly what time that will be. When the event goes live, it tasks trainers around the world with completing research tasks, which is a slightly more involved challenge than the simple catch challenge from last year. Last year we saw a global unlock of Farfetch'd–and an Asian unlock of Kangashkan–from the global catch challenge.

Pokémon GO's Candy And Egg Distance Bonuses Start Today, But They'll Be Expensive

according to But while yet another chance at the Electric-type legendary bird is one thing, I'm more interested in the egg and candy bonuses we unlocked alongside it. Starting today, all trainers will get double candy from catching Pokémon and hatching eggs, and those eggs will only take half the time to hatch. Egg incubators were one of Pokémon GO's first useful microtransactions, and they remain one of the most reliable ways to turn real money into in-game progress. So if we combine that with the halved hatching distance from this event, it means we can clean through a 10 km egg in 3.35 km, and a 2 km egg in just .65 km. I usually run 9 incubators, though I reserve by super-incubators for 10 km egg.
