Tired of using haze goggles zygarde as a bp check? Do you hate the fact that it has no reliable recovery, and is trash without leftovers? If all of the above, then Zekrom is the right alternative for you.
Zekrom @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 8 SpD / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Haze
- Roost
- Toxic
- Volt Switch
I present haze goggles Zekrom. The idea of this set is relatively simple, it's a defensive pivot that has the ability to overcome certain bp variants with haze. Roost is much more reliable recovery than zygarde's rest. Toxic is used to punish ground types that think it is safe to switch in, and volt switch is used to pivot on things such as ferrothorn and fairyceus that would normally be checks to a defensive set. Generally, Zekrom is always going to be coming in on physical threats, so max defence is used, however 8 spdef is to tank a fairyceus judgment after rocks and 8 speed is used to speed creep other base 90s, particularly defensive Kyogre as Zekrom most certainly does not appreciate an ice beam.
