Zapdos returns in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet‘s Indigo Disk DLC with a new model and meta. Being a continuously great Electric- and Flying-type Pokémon to use, this Legendary makes an exceptional battling partner. However, finding it will take some time as you’ll need to unlock the NPCSnacksworth to get its summoning Treat. This means finishing the main story of The Indigo Disk, but there is no need to rush as this Legendary Pokémon can be caught later on.
Once the main story of The Indigo Disk has been completed in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, go to the entrance of the Blueberry Academy. As stated before, an NPC called Snacksworth will gift you treats after completing 10 BlueberryQuests or BBQs. These treats let you find Legendary Pokémon around the Paldrea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Academy maps.

Where To Find Zapdos in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Indigo Disk
The location for Zapdos in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet takes you back to the beginning of your journey.

Climb the ladder to the top of the lighthouse, make a right, and Zapdos will fly in the sky right in front of you. Players can also catch more Legendary Pokémon nearby, such as Latias and Latios.
