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.
