Pokémon Go Legendary Flight Zapdos: All Timed Research Tasks

The ongoing Pokémon Go Legendary Flight event has established a stage for Kanto’s legendary bird trio to debut in their Dynamax forms — but battling these mighty foes is quite a challenge, as the first clashes with Articuno have shown. It won’t be easier with Zapdos, which is up next.

As any strategist worth their salt would tell you, though, half the battle is won ahead of time. This is where the Legendary Flight Lead-Up Timed Research is coming in handy when it starts on January 24, 2025, at 10am local time. If you lack any resources or fitting Pokémon to counter the upcoming Dynamax boss, then this quick Timed Research will get you up to speed in no time.

Find all tasks and rewards in the Pokémon Go Legendary Flight Lead-Up Timed Research for Zapdos.
