Zacian-Crowned @ Rusted Sword
Ability: Intrepid Sword
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Fire Fang
- Crunch
Thanks to its amazing bulk, Attack stat, and Speed tier, Zacian-C is one of the best sweepers in Ubers. Its great defensive typing allows it to tank most attacks from opposing Pokemon, particularly Ferrothorn and Tyranitar. Additionally, Zacian-C's access to Intrepid Sword makes it even more fearsome. Furthermore, its coverage options such as Fire Fang and Crunch make it really hard to switch into. Entry hazard stackers, such as Necrozma-DM, Ferrothorn, and Tyranitar, can cause the opposing team to rack up residual damage and allow Zacian-C to clean more easily. Ferrothorn in particular can check Quagsire, which walls Zacian-C and ignores the Intrepid Sword boost due to Unaware. Ditto is Zacian-C‘s biggest check, so pairing Zacian-C with Unaware Quagsire helps to wall Ditto back.
