I tried Electrium Zera, but that lost to Koko. I tried Dragonium Zera, but Cresellia could beat it. So I present...
Metronome Zeraora!
Zeraora @ Metronome
Adamant Nature
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 216 HP / 252 Atk / 40 Spe
- Fake Out
- Plasma Fists
- Outrage
- Bulk Up
Irl you'd probably run more Speed EVs but this team is slow af lol.
Kommo-o:
252+ Atk Zeraora Fake Out vs. 196 HP / 0+ Def Kommo-o: 33-39 (9.7 - 11.4%) -- possible 9HKO
252+ Atk Zeraora Outrage vs. 196 HP / 0+ Def Haban Berry Kommo-o: 97-115 (28.5 - 33.8%) -- 0.5% chance to 3HKO
252 Atk Kommo-o Earthquake vs. 216 HP / 0 Def Zeraora: 248-292 (66.8 - 78.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (Zera outspeeds after Rock Tomb) EDIT: Kommo-o doesn't even have EQ on this set, so it's easier than I thought.
252+ Atk Zeraora Outrage vs. 196 HP / 0+ Def Kommo-o: 194-230 (57 - 67.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO with Metronome about 68.4 - 81.1%
Min damage to Kommo-o: 68.4+28.5+9.7=106.6%
Charizard-Mega-Y:
252+ Atk Zeraora Plasma Fists vs. 236 HP / 0 Def Charizard-Mega-Y: 398-470 (111.7 - 132%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Cresellia:
Fake Out, Bulk Up, and then spam Plasma Fists. Eventually, Plasma Fists does more than Moonlight can heal, and Moonlight only has 8 PP lol. Cresselia's best strat is to CM once then do Icium Z into Ice Beam. (Ice Beam does more than Psyshock after Bulk Up.)
252+ Atk Zeraora Fake Out vs. 252 HP / 224+ Def Cresselia: 28-34 (6.3 - 7.6%) -- possibly the worst move ever
+1 252+ Atk Zeraora Plasma Fists vs. 252 HP / 224+ Def Cresselia: 157-186 (35.3 - 41.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
+1 0 SpA Cresselia Subzero Slammer (175 BP) vs. 216 HP / 0 SpD Zeraora: 179-211 (48.2 - 56.8%) -- 89.8% chance to 2HKO

+1 0 SpA Cresselia Ice Beam vs. 216 HP / 0 SpD Zeraora: 92-109 (24.7 - 29.3%) -- 100% chance to 4HKO

Min damage to Cresselia: 49.4+42.4+35.3+6.3=133.4%
Max damage to Zeraora: 56.8+29.3=86.1%
Cresselia can't use Moonlight to buy a turn because it'll just have the same amount of turns or fewer to attack in the long run. (The next Plasma Fists obviously does more than 50%.)
Metronome OP pls nerf.
