Congratulations to the four winners and thanks for all your submissions.
For next week, we will feature a deadly cleaner in a metagame where most people rely on Landorus-T to check Electric types: Bulk Up Zeraora.

Zeraora @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Bulk Up
- Plasma Fists
- Knock Off
- Close Combat
Zeraora is making a comeback in OU, being able to overwhelm its most common check in Landorus-T rather easily. It shines with its blasting Speed that allows it to outspeed all unboosted Pokemon in tier bar the rare Regieleki who can’t even touch Zeraora. If Pivot or Choice Band sets are rather common, a third set sees decent usage because of its ability to claim endgames sweep: Bulk Up Zeraora. Plasma Fists is Zeraora's main STAB move and can threaten a lot of defensive cores once the Ground type is weakened enough. Knock Off is useful to hit Electric immune Pokemon like Landorus-T and to remove their items. Lastly, Close Combat is a powerful coverage move, allowing Zeraora to hit foes like Ferrothorn. Zeraora Attack stat is not the most impressive, but with some Bulk Up boosts it can quickly become a problem for the opposing team, as revenge killing such a fast threat is not always easy. Who would you run to check or counter this electrifying cat? Let’s find out!
Submission phase will end on next Friday, good luck!

Hey Vkhss, Tangrowth would have work as a Zeraora counter, but submission period is over so I can't add it.easily counters zera thanks to its massive physical bulk and also resisting its stab , bulk up zera can be beaten by sleep power.
