Zygarde is a threatening setup sweeper thanks to Dragon Dance, good Attack, and high bulk that gets better after Power Construct activates, turning it into Zygarde-C. Thousand Arrows is very hard to switch into after a Dragon Dance, as it can 2HKO Pokemon that might otherwise check it, such as Xerneas and Kyogre. After Dynamaxing, Zygarde-C can use Max Quake to gain Special Defense boosts, allowing it to tank attacks from Xerneas and Calyrex-S. Dragon Tail allows Zygarde-C to phaze out opposing Zygarde-C and other phazers like Ho-Oh and Lugia before they can use Whirlwind. Substitute lets Zygarde-C avoid status from Giratina and Ho-Oh and can help it set up on passive Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Necrozma-DM. However, Zygarde-C has trouble with dealing with Xerneas, so Necrozma-DM is a great partner that can take care of it while providing Zygarde-C support through wearing down switch-ins with Stealth Rock and crippling fast attackers with Thunder Wave. Zygarde-C also faces problems with other special attackers like Kyogre without any boosts, so Ferrothorn makes a great partner for it, providing support with Knock Off and Spikes to make it easier for Zygarde-C to sweep.

Zygarde is a threatening setup sweeper thanks to Dragon Dance, a good Attack stat and its high bulk that gets better after Power Construct activates, turining it into Zygarde-C. Thousand Arrows is very hard to switch into after a Dragon Dance, as it can 2HKO Pokemon that might otherwise commonly check it such as Xerneas and Kyogre Kyorge. When Dynamaxed, Max Quake can be used to gain a Special Defense boost allow it to tank attacks from Xerneas Xerenas and Calyrex-S. Dragon Tail allows Zygarde-C to phaze out opposing Zygarde-C and phazers like Ho-Oh and Lugia before they can use Whirlwind like Ho-Oh and Lugia. Substitute allows Zygarde-C to avoid status from Giratina and Ho-Oh. Substitute can also be used for Zygarde-C set up on passive Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Neroczma-DM. However, Zygarde-C has trouble with dealing with Xerneas, Xerenas so Necrozma-DM Nercozma-DM is great partner that can take care of it while providing Zygarde Stealth Rock and using Thunder Wave to help cripple fast attackers. Zygarde-C also faces problems with Special Attackers like Xerneas Xerenas and Kyogre Kyorge while unboosted, so Ferrothorn makes a great partner for it, (AC) while providing support with Knock Off and Spikes to that make it easier for Zygarde-C to sweep.

Good work, although there are quite a few spelling errors.
QC 1/1

Hey you made a small mistake by saying "Neroczma-DM" instead of "Necrozma-DM"

Sorry I have been without computer access for a long while and my old phone kept scrolling to the top of the page every time I did an edit or copy and pasted. I got a new phone now that does not do this and internet access to my computer in a few weeks, so it should not happen again.
