Anything Goes Zekrom

[Geysers]

Zekrom @ Leftovers
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Bolt Strike
- Dragon Claw
- Substitute

With its newfound toy in Dragon Dance, Zekrom is a devastating setup sweeper in AG thanks to its solid typing, good movepool, and access to Dynamax, being able to use a myriad of common Pokemon such as Necrozma-DM, Ferrothorn, and Blissey as setup bait. Bolt Strike and Dragon Claw cover nearly the entire metagame, with Max Lightning setting Electric Terrain and Max Wyrmwind making Groudon a shaky check by lowering its Attack. Substitute lets Zekrom turn Blissey and Ferrothorn into complete setup fodder. Zekrom fits well on balance, bulky offense, and hyper offense teams where it can serve as a mid-game wallbreaker or late-game cleaner. On hyper offense teams, Shuckle is an amazing teammate thanks to its Sticky Web support, and on all teams, Yveltal and Calyrex-S work well alongside Zekrom thanks to their ability to pressure Lunala, which would otherwise check Zekrom.

With its newfound toy in Dragon Dance, Zekrom is a devastating setup sweeper in AG thanks to its solid typing, coupled with a good movepool, and decent bulk access to Dynamax -it's good to point out to the readers why Zekrom suddenly got so much better with the generational shift (Dragon Dance + Dynamax)- . Zekrom can take advantage of use a myriad of passive common Pokemon, such as Necrozma-DM, Ferrothorn, and Chansey Blissey -outclasses Chansey- to get setup opportunities as setup bait -optional-. Due to its solid attack, Zekrom often needs only one Dragon Dance boost before sweeping, causing it to be a constricting presence against balance. -too specific for a spotlight imo, doesn't really add much value- Bolt Strike allows Zekrom to threaten Ho-Oh and Yveltal, notably allowing it to force them out and get free turns in the process. Dragon Claw enables Zekrom to break through Ground-types like Groudon and Zygarde under Dynamax. -correct info, yet too straight-forward; consider changing to something like 'Bolt Strike and Dragon Claw cover nearly the entire metagame. On top of that, Max Lightning sets Electric Terrain and Max Wyrmwind lowers Groudon's Attack, making it a shaky check.'-Substitute lets Zekrom avoid status moves from turn Chansey -change to Blissey- and Ferrothorn, turning them into complete setup fodder, giving Zekrom more setup turns. Zekrom fits well on balance and hyper offense all manner of balanced and offensive teams, where it can either serve as a late-game wincon after its few checks have been eliminated, or take advantage of Sticky Web support for even more setup opportunities serve as a mid-game wallbreaker or late-game cleaner.
-tried to cut it down as much as I could, because you do need to mention a few teammates (Shuckle + Yveltal / Calyrex-S (to threaten Lunala) on Sticky Web, and Yveltal / Calyrex-S on balance is fine enough)-

well done for your first try, will need to take one more look to make sure the last part is implemented correctly

lowering its Attack Substitute

Hey Geysers, caught this while translating: you missed the period after "Attack".
