Zeraora is a powerful wallbreaker with amazing Speed that allows it to break holes in the opposing team and revenge kill Pokemon such as Dragapult and Dracovish. Plasma Fists is its most powerful STAB attack, becoming even stronger under Electric Terrain. Play Rough hits Dragon-types such as Kommo-o and Dragapult and is the best answer Electric teams have for Dragon-types. Close Combat targets Steel-, Normal-, and Rock-types such as Ferrothorn, Excadrill, Snorlax, and Tyranitar. Knock Off is great against Psychic- and Ghost-types such as Celebi and Aegislash, and it provides useful utility in removing the foe's item. Maximum investment in Speed and Attack combined with Choice Band allows Zeraora to be as fast and strong as possible. Zeraora should find opportunities to soften up the opposing team with its powerful attacks and allow its teammates to clean up, or take advantage of its high Speed and clean late-game itself.
Galvantula and Vikavolt are able to set Sticky Web to ensure that Zeraora can outspeed everything and deal with threats such as Choice Scarf Excadrill and Choice Scarf Dragapult. Zeraora appreciates Pincurchin's Electric Surge, as it boosts the power of Plasma Fists. Pincurchin can also set up Spikes and Toxic Spikes to chip the foe's team and give Zeraora an easier time wallbreaking. Alolan Raichu also takes advantage of Electric Terrain because of its Surge Surfer ability and can act as a late-game sweeper and revenge killer. It can also deal with Pokemon such as Vileplume with Psychic and threaten Ground-types such as Seismitoad and Excadrill with Grass Knot and Focus Blast, respectively. Rotom-H is able to hit Grass-types such as Ferrothorn and Whimsicott, and can check Mold Breaker Excadrill if holding an Air Balloon. Rotom-C can be used instead to improve the matchup against Ground-type teams. Toxtricity is a strong special wallbreaker and can threaten Grass- and Fairy-type teams. Morpeko forms a strong wallbreaking core with Zeraora and together they're able to muscle through Psychic- and Ghost-type teams thanks to Zeraora's Knock Off and Morpeko's Dark-type STAB moves. Morpeko can also use Psychic Fangs to break screens, which Zeraora appreciates.
