Zapdos @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Static
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Roost
- Defog
- Discharge
- Hurricane
This one is so easy.
G-Zap has, in terms of coverage, STAB flying and fighting, and non-stab bug, ground, and fire. Even including niche ones, that's still dark and steel. Its only neutral hits are non-stab, and even with band it can't 2hko, and with SR being irrelevant because of hdb, the closest G-zap can get is....
252 Atk Choice Band Zapdos-Galar Mega Kick vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Zapdos: 153-180 (39.8 - 46.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
And realistically its more like:
252 Atk Choice Band Zapdos-Galar Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Zapdos: 114-135 (29.6 - 35.1%) -- 17.1% chance to 3HKO
Brave bird does more than blaze kick, believe it or not. And all of these moves are contact. you can even spam roost until static happens. Its a really easy match up.
