Name pun
It is possible that the last part of each birds name are puns, because the last syllable of each of the Legendary Birds is a number in Spanish (ex. Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres). Zapdos would then be the second Legendary Bird of the trio. Zapdos' name could also be hinting at the Generation II legendary Raikou, also an electric type. Since its name means electric-two, it is possible Zapdos could have been a forshadowing of Raikou.
