While many claim mastery over the raw power of lightning in the DL, few embody it so well as Zapdos, the legendary bird of the storms. Unpredictable, capricious, and unbound by all but the most rigid laws of nature, few can stand against the electric bird beyond the first blow. While Cristo is indeed known for his ability to withstand punishment, he is far more adept against more mundane assaults and blows, rather than Zapdos' punishing Thunder. Cristo's healing may prolong the match, but with Thunder Wave to cripple his speed and the looming threat of a critical hit, Zapdos has this match well in wing.
