Thanks for the kind words! I had some motivation issues getting this one out and I feel it is edivent in the quality. Swapping out Pao was definitely a good choice since it hasn't shown to be able to do much in this metagame without pivot support (usually Mola these days). I'd highly recommend trying Tera Fairy on DD Zygarde if you're looking for an alternate to Tera Ground. Missing out on the damage boost is pretty big, but Tera Fairy is great for DD Zygarde mirror and lets it setup on wallbreaker Eternatus and special Giratina-O if the sequencing is available. I think it is pretty likely we will remove Tera Water and the Z-crystals from its analysis when we update it after NDP/FL. Tera Poison seems workable with Blade Zacian-C maybe. Its been pretty interesting seeing Primal Groudon become popularish again on HO given that it barely existed on the playstyle a couple months ago. It was commonish a while ago (last year), but had been dwindling in use over time.Been enjoying your analysis reads and you're pretty spot on with the sets, gameplans, etc. Definitely informative and we appreciate it.
Don't want to reveal all the sets but yes Zyg was Ddance with Tera Water so I was quite confident worst case scenario I would win with Zyg in the end. I wanted to CC on the obvious tera Steel with Gira but if it was say, Poison Tera, it would've been bad so I opted to just get the chip on it with Play Rough. I will admit I got very lucky matchup wise and luck wise.
There wasn't too much deep thought with this team it was actually a team I reformatted from SV ubers (below) that I have used in the past that had Pao. It was going to be Pao over Zacian-c but I changed it to Zacian last minute because something like Ekiller would've been an issue.
