Legendary birds (Adventures)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Zapmolcuno was a Team Rocket experiment created by fusing the three Legendary Birds in the Pokémon Special manga. Red's Gym Badges triggered a fusion machine and created this Pokémon. Team Rocket stole Red's Eevee in order to research the Eeveelutions Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon, which was a mere beta-test for this creature. It nearly destroyed Saffron City.
In Pokémon Special canon, it never had a proper name. However, Coronis from Serebii.net coined the term Zapmolcuno, a portmanteau of the legendary birds' names.
