What Legendary Bird Do You Think Is The Strongest???
Mine Is Zapdos, Lightning Beats Flying And Flying Would Be Kinda Strong On Ice Like My Super Strong Zapdos, Hell Yea!
 
I'd agree with Zapdos, its flying, plus it being part electric has the resistance to what other flying types are weak to and it can take out water types easily. With Fly, Rain Dance and thunder, it makes a good pokemon.
 
Thats what im sayin dude. It would be kinda stupid if they said the other two but thatis their choice "coughs loser" Lol
 
If we are talking about in - game, then it is Articuno. I'm sorry, but Mind Reader + Sheer Cold beats anything. Of course, if we are talking about competitive online battling, Zapdos is better.

Doesn't Mind Reader and Sheer Cold guarantee Articuno a OHKO every time?

Sturdy. Maybe Golem with Sturdy ability with Stone Edge and maybe Rock Blast holding Focus Band or sash (whatever lets pokemon hang on, leaving 1HP) that could take it out. But it is x2 weakness to ice attacks, so it would need to be speedy and always move first.
 
Yeah, Zapos is really the best, since it's flying type nullifies it's ground weakness.

...Same for Moltres, right?

But I am of the opinion that Zapdos is the best out of them as well (as Moltres ends up having it's rock weakness compounded, and water weakness remains, plus I've always liked Zapdoes anyways -_-), and apparently competively as well it's far superior (it got Heatwave from Platinum as well O_O).
 
I would say Zapdos, the other birds have weaknesses against electricity.
 
Ho-Oh, of course.
But counting only Kanto birds, well, they certainly don't live up to their reputation, but Zapdos at least has a tolerable typing and salvageable movepool.
 
Hard to say, Articuno has an automatic KO combination, but Zapdos is made out as the perfect "Special Sweeper" with it's speed and SPATK stats. Plus, as some have pointed out, it's stats make up for one another. As a flying type, it's also electric, so that lessens the damage done by electric types. But as an electric type, it's also flying, so that snuffs ground types' usual advantage.
 
Zapdos is the strongest Bird, even though I like Moltres more, Zapdos has the type advantage, he can take out the other two since they are flying types. But Articuno can take out Zapdos but Moltres takes Articuno but thats it, Zapdos has those two beat 2-1
 
Zapdos. If you fight them all against one another, 2x Thunder, Moltres & Articuno are dead =D
 
and I quote
Zapdos has tremendous typing, which includes resistances or immunities to the most common moves of top-tier OU threats such as Scizor and Shaymin-S. Although its Electric / Flying typing also forces it to swallow 25% damage every time he comes in when Stealth Rock is on the field, Roost makes up for that loss. Physically defensive Zapdos is one of the best Scizor counters, while specially defensive variants counter Shaymin-S quite well. Zapdos can also try its hand at countering Gyarados with a bunch of defensive investment, and in the meantime take on some other annoying physical hard-hitters, though it must be wary of Stone Edge or a boosted Ice Fang.

Despite a few flaws, Zapdos is still a very effective Pokemon. Whether it is used as a tank, Baton Passer, or special attacker, the electric bird is a fantastic asset to a team.

If you include Ho-oh and Lugia, they slaughter the other three.

But if you mean just the three original birds, then yeah, Zapdos wins by a long shot.
