[SET COMMENTS]
Due to its great Attack, sufficient Speed, Dragon Dance, and potent STAB moves, Zekrom is one of the most fearsome setup sweepers in AG, lacking solid counterplay outside of bulky Lunala. Dragon Dance allows Zekrom to outspeed and OHKO common revenge killers such as Zacian-C, Eternatus, and Calyrex-S. Bolt Strike is its main attack, capable of OHKOing Ho-Oh, Yveltal, and Kyogre and 2HKOing Dragon-immune Pokemon such as Xerneas and Zacian-C unboosted. Bolt Strike becomes Max Lightning under Dynamax, summoning Electric Terrain, which notably allows Zekrom to break through even Lunala. Dragon Claw hits targets that Bolt Strike fails to, such as Giratina, Zygarde-C, and Groudon; while under Dynamax, it reduces Groudon and Zygarde-C's Attack to prevent them from defeating Zekrom. Alternatively, Outrage is a handy option on hyper offense to greatly limit Ditto when coupled with a Fairy-type teammate. Ditto will be forced to lock itself into Outrage if it wants to revenge kill Zekrom, which said Fairy-types can deter by either hard-switching into Ditto or taking it out after it has revenge killed Zekrom. Substitute is used to stop Ditto from copying Zekrom's boosts, scout switches from Pokemon Zekrom forces out, use defensive Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Ho-Oh, and Necrozma-DM as setup bait, and avoid status from foes such as Lunala and Giratina. Leftovers is used to give Zekrom passive recovery and more chances to use Substitute. A Jolly nature with maximum Speed EVs is used to outpace Pokemon such as Modest Xerneas, Yveltal, and Kyogre.

Zekrom best fits on hyper offense and bulky offense. It appreciates Shuckle providing it with Sticky Web support that allows it to outpace Zacian-C, Eternatus, and Calyrex-S as well as Stealth Rock support to KO Xerneas after one Dragon Dance. Additionally, Zekrom appreciates partners such as Kyogre and Yveltal that can take care of Ground-types like Zygarde-C and Groudon. Yveltal, as well as Calyrex-S, can also massively threaten Zekrom's best check in Lunala. On bulkier teams, Lugia and Lunala can also help with Zygarde-C and Groudon. Moreover, Lunala fully Imposter-proofs Zekrom against Ditto. Specially defensive Yveltal is an important partner for Zekrom, as it can come in on Calyrex-S for it and use Defog to get rid of entry hazards. Necrozma-DM can come in on Fairy-type attacks from Zacian-C and Xerneas while also providing Thunder Wave support to slow the opposing team down. Zacian-C can help Zekrom whittle down their shared checks in Groudon, Lunala, and Zygarde-C while also luring in Necrozma-DM, enabling Zekrom to easily set up. Both Zacian-C and Xerneas can also hard switch into Ditto looking to lock itself into Dragon Claw or Outrage.

Other Options
=============

Life Orb can be used over Leftovers to increase damage output, notably allowing Zekrom to OHKO Xerneas and defensive Zygarde-C after a Dragon Dance. However, it synergizes terribly with Substitute. Roost is an option over Substitute to help take Life Orb recoil better or keep Zekrom healthy; however, this leads to Zekrom getting statused by Ho-Oh and Toxic Necrozma-DM and Ditto copying Zekrom's boosts.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Lunala**: Bulky Lunala is one of the very few Pokemon capable of tanking Zekrom's boosted hits, as Teravolt cannot bypass Shadow Shield. Lunala can both cripple Zekrom with Will-O-Wisp and damage it with Ice Beam. However, it must play cautiously around Dynamax, since Roost is outdamaged by a Max Lightning backed up by a Dragon Dance boost and Electric Terrain, preventing it from regaining Shadow Shield.

**Groudon**: Bulky Groudon can easily come in on a boosted Zekrom, tank the attack, and OHKO it with Precipice Blades. However, it cannot stand up to a Zekrom under Dynamax without Dynamaxing itself, especially as its Attack will be lowered by Max Wyrmwind.

**Revenge Killers**: Fast Pokemon such as Sand Rush Excadrill, Choice Scarf Calyrex-S, Ditto, and Sucker Punch Yveltal can revenge kill Zekrom. However, Zekrom can use Substitute to bypass any revenge killing attempts.

Bolt Strike is its main attack, capable of OHKOing allows it to take care of Ho-Oh, Yveltal, and Kyorgre and can also threaten its common checks such as Xerneas and Zacian-C with a 2HKO unboosted. Zekrom can also use Bolt Strike under Dynamax summons Electric terrien Terrain with Max Lightning to further increase Zekrom's damage output break apart teams. Dragon Claw hits targets which Bolt Strike fails to, such as Giratina, Zygarde and Groudon, while under Dynamax reduces Groudon and Zygarde's attack to prevent them from defeating Zekrom. Substitute is used to avoid Ditto from copying its boosts, can be used on a scout switches from a Pokemon Zekrom forces out, use defensive Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Nercozma-DM Necrozma-DM to set up with Dragon Dance and avoid status from opposing Pokemon such as Lunala or Giratina Mewtwo (stall mewtwo isn't that common and outspeeds Zekrom so changed it for more appropriate examples). Leftovers is used to give Zekrom passive recovery and more chances to use Substitute. Life Orb can be used over Leftovers increasing damage output, notably to OHKOing Xerneas and Defensive Zygarde-Complete after a Dragon Dance that which it cannot do with Leftovers. A Jolly nature with maximum Speed EVs is used to outpace Pokemon such as Modest Xerneas, Yveltal, and Kyorge. Kyogre

Additionally, Zekrom appreciates partners such as Kyorge Kyogre who can take care of Ground-types like Zygarde-C and Groudon. Calyrex-S is able to take care of Lunala that can threaten Zekrom with a OHKO with Ice Beam after some chip. Phasers like Lugia can also help with Zygarde-C and Groudon thanks to Whirlwind and Toxic or Ice Beam. Mutliscale. Specially Defensive Yveltal is an important partner for Zekrom as it can come in on Calyrex-S for it and use Defog to get rid of hazards that would wear down Zekrom. Nercozma-DM Necrozma-DM can come in on Fairy-type attacks from Zacian-C and Xerneas for Zekrom, while also providing Thunder Wave support to slow the opposing team these two down or and use Stealth Rock to help wear them down to make enable Zekrom able to take care of them. Zacian can help Zekrom whittle down its shared checks in Groudon and Zygarde-C, while luring in Necrozma-DM enabling Zekrom to easily setup.

**Ground-types**: Groudon can easily come in on a boosted Zekrom, tank the attack and OHKO it with Precipice Blades. Defensive Zygarde-C can also come in on Zekrom after one Dragon Dance and 2HKO it with Thousand Arrows. Under Dynamax, neither of them have trouble dealing with Zekrom.

**Fairy-types**: Xerneas and Zacian-C both can threaten a unboosted Zekrom as they can OHKO it with their Fairy-type attacks.

**Faster Attackers**: Fast Pokemon like Eternatus, Lunala, and Choice Specs Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf users such as Palkia can threaten Zekrom with forcing it to switch out if it has not set up with Dragon Dance to outpace them.

Great work. QC 1/2. Most of the corrections were to improve readability.
Take care of the spellings such as Necrozma-DM, Kyogre and Electric Terrain, and don't forget to ensure that you've analysed everything on the set (I think you forgot to mention DClaw)

**Fairy-types**: Xerneas and Zacian-C both can threaten a unboosted Zekrom as they can OHKO it with their Fairy-type attacks. -not very realistic; for these to be able to check Zekrom, something needs to be foddered first. In those situations, Zekrom almost always has a boost under its belt already-

**Faster Attackers Revenge killers**: Fast Pokemon like Eternatus, Lunala, and Choice Specs Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf users such as Palkia can threaten Zekrom with forcing it to switch out if it has not set up with Dragon Dance to outpace them. -These aren't the correct examples; be sure to point out Sand Rush Excadrill, Ditto, Choice Scarf Calyrex-S, and Sucker Punch Yveltal at the least, although stress the fact that Zekrom can negate revenge killing attempts with Substitute-
