Doubles DOU AV Zeraora: [GP: 1/1]

:ss/zeraora:
Zeraora @ Assault Vest
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Plasma Fists
- Knock Off
- Volt Switch / Close Combat / Electroweb

Zeraora has seen high usage in DPL 6 due to its status as the fastest Pokemon in the metagame. This makes it a great Fake Out user that's able to pressure a large portion of the Doubles OU metagame with its excellent coverage. Knock Off is the primary coverage move of choice, allowing Zeraora to pressure Dragapult while also hindering most Pokemon that get hit by it. The fourth move is pretty much your choice; Volt Switch allows for pivoting, Close Combat handles the likes of Incineroar and Melmetal, and Electroweb makes for a pretty nice speed control option. Zeraora really can't hit Melmetal and Incineroar that well, especially without Close Combat, which makes Blastoise and Excadrill great partners.

Looks pretty good, I would probably slash volt switch before close combat because unboosted CC is pretty weak but otherwise I don't see any other issues.

QC 1/1
