With impressive Attack and Speed stats and unique coverage, Zeraora makes a great fast wallbreaker when paired with Choice Band. Plasma Fists takes care of Water- and Flying-types, such as Primarina and Corviknight. Outrage deals with Dragon-types that resist Plasma Fists, like Choice Specs Dragapult and Choice Band Dracovish. Close Combat beats most Dark- and Steel-types, like Tyranitar and non-Choice Scarf Excadrill. Blaze Kick beats Ferrothorn, while Knock Off more reliably beats Choice Scarf Jirachi and Gardevoir.

Because of Zeraora's lack of reliable Ice- or Grass-type coverage, it's walled by bulky Ground-types, like Steelix and Gastrodon. Water-types, like Encore Primarina and Milotic, deal with Ground-types while Zeraora beats the other Water-types that resist Primarina and Milotic's moves. Similarly, Zeraora is walled by Grass-types like Whimsicott and Rillaboom. Ice-types, like Kyurem and Avalugg, beat the Grass-, Dragon-, and Ground-types that wall Zeraora while Zeraora beats the Water-types that wall non-Freeze Dry Kyurem and Avalugg. Because of Zeraora's lack of Trick, it cannot beat stall sets like Corsola-Galar and Rotom-Heat. Taunt Mandibuzz and Whimsicott make good teammates as they cover Zeraora's weakness to stall and Ground-types.
