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.

In this post Uber dynamax ban pre DLC meta, Play Rough is often used instead of Behemoth Blade. Psychic Fang / Fire Fang are also coverage alternatives to Close Combat. Zacian-C is hardly a check to Lunala. Most of the prose doesn't really say much about this Pokemon.

I wouldn't use a replay from pre-home SS to feature a Pokemon in a post-home metagame.

QC: 1/1

Because I'm a little rusty, consider this an AM check for now.

Thanks to its amazing bulk, coupled with an amazing Attack stat, (AC) and speed Speed tier, Zacian-C is one of the biggest best sweepers in Ubers. It functions as a great check to Ferrothorn and Tyranitar. Its great defensive typing allows it to tank most attacks from opposing Pokémon, particularly Ferrothorn and Tyranitar. (Condensing sentences; it sounds like Zacian-C checks these Pokemon defensively.) Zacian-C'(no curly apostrophes)s access to Intrepid Sword further boosts its attack, making makes it an even more fearsome sweeper. Furthermore, its coverage options such as Fire Fang and Crunch, (RC) make it really hard to switch into. Hazard stackers, such as Necrozma-DM, Ferrothorn, and Tyranitar, can stack hazards for rack up damage on the opposing team and allow (repetition) Zacian-C to clean more easily. Ferrothorn is a notable mention, since it in particular (wordiness) can check Quagsire, which walls Zacian-C and ignores the Intrepid Sword boost due to Unaware. Ditto is Zacian-C's biggest check, so pair it Zacian-C with Unaware Quagsire itself to wall Ditto and ignore the Intrepid Sword boost back. (repetition; phrasing)
