Not enough composure

To play that children video game!
I don't have zapdos yet and it is driving me crazy! Drove 100 km yesterday after my shift to fight one in a nearby town only to find out that there wasn't enough player to take it down.
I wouldn't mind not having the other legendaries and yet zapdos evades me. I spent the last weeks collecting dust and candies to build my golem/piloswine army in vain. I'm even considering taking a day off (that's 400$) just to have my chance to catch it, and yet it doen't spawn everyday D:
