1v1 Zapdos

[July]

Zapdos @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Hurricane
- Eerie Impulse
- Roost

Lightning falls all across 1v1, signalling the legend's arrival! Thanks to its good Speed tier and great typing, Zapdos easily eliminates top threats in the tier such as Primarina, Iron Crown, and Raging Bolt. Hurricane lets Zapdos take care of threats such as both Urshifu formes, Ogerpon-W, and Iron Valiant. Eerie Impulse weakens special attackers like Spectrier, Sylveon, and Volcanion and allows Zapdos to beat them. Clear Amulet lets Zapdos counter stat-dropping moves from foes like Icy Wind from Primarina, Parting Shot from Pecharunt, and Acid Spray from Hisuian Goodra. The EVs allow Zapdos to survive Hyper Beam from Choice Specs Spectrier. Zapdos struggles against physical foes such as Meowscarada, physical Hoopa-U, and Haxorus, so Steel-types such as Metagross and Corviknight greatly assist it by tackling such threats. Further, as Zapdos struggles against special walls such as Hisuian Goodra and Skeledirge, physical wallbreakers such as Great Tusk and both Urshifu formes can help it cover its weaknesses.

Lightning falls all across 1v1 indicating the sign of the legend's arrival. (I'm not sure if its entirely my place to comment on this but this line sounds strange) Zapdos tThanks to its good speed tier and great typing, (AC) Zapdos easily eliminates top threats in the tier such as Primarina, Iron Crown and Corviknight Raging Bolt (Better example and showcases the archetype zapdos beats: the slow special attackers). Hurricane lets Zapdos take care of threats such as both Urshifu formes, Ogerpon-W and Iron Valiant Volcarona. (You don't beat this entirely consistently. Iron Valiant is a better example.) Eerie Impulse weakens down special attackers attacking foes like Spectrier, Sylveon and Volcanion and allows Zapdos to beat them. Clear Amulet allows Zapdos counter stat dropping moves from foes like Icy Wind from Primarina, Parting Shot from Pecharunt and Acid Spray from Hisuian Goodra. The EVs allows Zapdos to survive Hyper Beam from Choice Specs Spectrier. Zapdos struggles against physical foes such as Meowscarada, Physical Hoopa-U and Haxorus, so Steel-types such as Metagross and Coviknight greatly assist Zapdos by tackling such threats. Zapdos also struggles against special walls such as Choice Band Goodra Hisui and Skeledrige, physical attackers such as Great Tusk and Urshifu formes deal with such threats and are solid physical attackers overall aswell.
(This entire last line needs to be rewritten I think. "Zapdos struggles against special walls like xyz, so physical attackers like yzx can be used to deal with these threats. complimenting their ability as physical attackers in the end feels like fluff.
