[OVERVIEW]
Zekrom is a potent wallbreaker and cleaner in Ubers thanks to its Teravolt, high attack and excellent coverage with decent STAB moves. Teravolt allows it to ignore Unaware and Tera Shell, transforming it into a unstoppable sweeper. Its typing threatens some popular Pokemon like Ho-oh, Kyogre and Arceaus-Water while have a immunity to Thunder wave from Kyogre and Arceaus forms. All the elements mentioned above make it a top threat to bulky teams. However, it struggles with Fairy- and Dragon- types like Zacian-C, Eternatus and Koraidon without stat boosts. So, it needs fodder to set up.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
====
Clear Amulet is an alternative item for its immunity to Intimidate from Landorus-T and Sticky Web. But it cuts off the stability of Scale Shot. So you may need to pick Outrage which may be immuned by Zacian-C and Areacus-Fairy. Tera Ghost can be used to block Extreme Speed from Ekiller Arcaeus, Low Kick from Koraidon and Seismic Toss from Blissey. That provides it with more chances to set up. However, its teammates like Koraidon and Kyogre can leverage Tera Ghost more effectively.
Checks and Counters
====
**Ground-types**: Ground-types like landorus-T, Ting-lu and Areacus-Ground can wall its moves easily and threat it with Earthquake. However, they should pay attention to its Tera Flying which may turn the table on them.
**Priorites**: Priority moves can wear it down and revenge kill it, especially when it has lost some HP for setting up.
**Fairy-types**: Fairy-types like Zacian-C and Arceaus-Fairy can revenge it or shut it down. But they may be crippled and lose the ability to revenge other Pokemons.
