Legendary birds
Will each team have its own legendary bird (ie Zapdos for team Instint, Moltres for Valor and Articuno for Mystic)? Or the 3 ones for every player? What do you think?

My personal wish is not , am valor and the fire pokemons is not the best in this meta
Keep in mind that every one have the three birds no. In the Dex ( may be irrational reason ) but if every team get only one then no one will every complete the Dex
I would assume that in the start you will only catch your team bird in a quest or time frame kind of thing , may be later. Another event to catch others
Who knows what niantic thinking , they are the one that releasd a game about hunting with the worst most useless tracking system in any game I ever saw
Zapdos is the best by far in my opinion (I'm mystic and saying this), as far as this game is concerned. Super effective against vaporeon, gyarados, neutral against dragonite, snorlax, blissey and tyranitar.
Only bad against Rhydon for the top 7.
For second place in attack, definitely articuno for the ice moves. It's a better lapras (save the steel weakness)
Articuno has arguably the worst typing on defense though. Yes I'm even saying this over Moltres who is weak to water (eyes on you vaporeon), but moltres getting wrecked by vaporeon in 30 seconds is better than getting articuno wrecked by Flareon in 20.
Moltres is very strong but every player has 50 flareons and 15 arcanine and maybe even 5 charizard by now. There's not much utility adding 'another fire attacker'.
I'd say you'll be able to get all 3 cause like some have said, it let's players complete their pokedex. I've heard some suggestions that actually make sense is that players can catch all of them, but with the gym limitation being that you can only use your team's bird and there can only be one legendary per gym.
While I may not completely agree with all of that, it does make sense
Zapdos is definitely the best of the three. His electric/ flying typing is weak to rock and ice only. Strong ice mon like lapras and articuno would be weak to electric for one reason or another. Then that leaves moltres. Moltres flying typing is also weak to electric. Remember all three birds have the flying typing as well. So definitely zapdos on this meta. However articuno will wreck dragonite even worse than lapras does.
