M&M Zeraora [QC 3/3] [GP 2/2]

[The Strap]

[OVERVIEW]

Zeraora is a potent offensive threat with its great Attack and ability to outspeed threats such as Blastoisenite and Red Orb Darkrai, Metagrossite Kartana, and Diancite Tapu Lele. A Pinsirite set gives it a strong Electric/Flying STAB type combination, allowing it to harass many common Pinsirite answers such as Skarmory, Pinsirite Magearna, Terrakion, and Cobalion. Pinsirite also boosts Zeraora's Attack and already blazing Speed to great levels, allowing it to check Pokemon like Kartana, Salamencite Noivern, and Pinsirite Magearna. Its STAB allows it to beat defensive Pokemon like Arceus-Water, Ho-oh, and Sablenite Buzzwole. While Taunt allows Zeraora to get past Pokemon like Aggronite Buzzwole and support Arceus. Fake Out enables Zeraora to Mega Evolve safely and scout for the opposing side, as well as help for your team keep faster foes in check. However, due to its weakness to Stealth Rock after Mega Evolving. it can get worn down quickly. Zeraora also lacks recovery, which means that it is unable to repeatedly switch in on the Pokemon that it checks.

move 4: Fake Out / Taunt
item: Pinsirite

nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
===========

Return is Zeraora's main STAB move, which hits targets that resist or are immune to Electric-type moves such as Zygarde and Kartana hard. Plasma Fists threatens Water- and Flying-types such as Pinsirite Magearna, Primal Kyogre, and Arceus-Water. Bulk Up improves Zeraora's chances of cleaning and allows it to take less damage from Altarianite Zygarde and Entei. Fake Out allows Zeraora to Mega Evolve safely turn one as well as granting it a priority move. It also improves Zeraora's ability to revenge kill weakened Terrakion and Darkrai. Taunt allows Zeraora to prevent status moves and stop defensive Pokemon like Aggronite Buzzwole, Manectite Mew, and support Arceus formes from recovering.

Set Details
===========

Pinsirite gives Zeraora a great ability in Aerilate, greater Attack and Speed, and a fantastic secondary Flying typing. Jolly is recommended to outspeed threats like Metagrossite Kartana and Diancite Tapu Lele. Volt Absorb is Zeraora's only ability, but it does provide some utility against some Pokemon such as Zapdos and even other Zeraora.

Usage Tips
===========

This set's function is as a sweeper capable of cleaning up late-game once Zeraora's checks have been removed, as well as a reliable revenge killer for Kartana, and Terrakion, and Lunala after they have been previously damaged. Zeraora should be brought in on a U-turn or Volt Switch or after a Pokemon is sacrificed so that it is able to force out threats such as Primal Kyogre. Zeraora primarily should set up on defensive Pokemon that it can force out with its STAB attacks, such as Sablenite Buzzwole and Skarmory. Zeraora is also able to set up on the likes of Metagrossite Kartana on more offensive teams. Zeraora's typing after Mega Evolving is important for checking Pokemon like Kartana and Sablenite Buzzwole as well as providing it a Ground immunity, so Zeraora should Mega Evolve as early as possible with the help of Fake Out.

Team Options
===========

This set would fit best on offensive teams due to its ability to sweep late-game and prevent opposing cleaners from running through your team in return. Sticky Web and Stealth Rock support from teammates like Shuckle and Primal Groudon can be useful for letting Zeraora outspeed fast foes more easily and wearing down bulky foes, and Primal Groudon can also check Magearna. Defoggers such as Skarmory and Sablenite Mandibuzz can get rid of Stealth Rock for Zeraora to keep it healthy and giving it more chances to set up or attack. Special wallbreakers such as Lunala, Darkrai, and Primal Kyogre pair well with Zeraora, as they can come in on Pokemon that would check Zeraora and start wallbreaking. Physical threats like Altarianite Zygarde and Kartana also make good teammates, as they can work together with Taunt Zeraora to break down physical walls. If Zeraora is not running Fake Out, it's good to have an Altarianite Pokemon such as Zygarde or Entei to be able to check Diancite Darkrai and keep faster foes in check more reliably.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
===========

A Glalitite set can serve as lure against the Ground-types that can typically check Zeraora such as Arceus-Ground and Zygarde. Lopunnite is another option, as it gives Zeraora a great boost in Speed and Attack and Fighting-type STAB on Close Combat. However, it is checked by defensive Pokemon such as Buzzwole and Mew as well as offensive Pokemon such as Altarianite Zygarde. Facade can be used over Fake Out or Taunt to take advantage of Will-O-Wisp Arceus formes and Aggronite Mew that attempt to check it.

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

**Arceus-Rock**: Arceus-Rock is quite possibly the best Pinsirite Zeraora check you can ask for, as it able to tank any attack Pinsirite Zeraora can go for and retaliate with a Will-O-Wisp or Judgement. However, it must be wary of the potential Lopunnite Zeraora.

**Ground-types**: Ground-types such as defensive Primal Groudon and Arceus-Ground can tank a Return and can fire back with Overheat or Will-O-Wisp, respectively. However, physical Primal Groudon sets that lack Stone Edge struggle to check Zeraora after a Bulk Up boost.

**Defensive Magearna**: Manectite and Latiasite Magearna are able to tank a boosted or an unboosted Plasma Fists, respectively, and can fire back with a Fleur Cannon.

**Strong Priority**: Extreme Speed users such as Zygarde, Entei, and Genesect can pick off a weakened Zeraora, as its defenses are not the best.

Usage Tips
===========
*This set's function is as a sweeper capable of cleaning up late game once its checks have been removed.
*It should be brought in on mons that it is able to force out such as Primal Kyogre. wew not sure what you meant by this part but Zera isnt switching in on much. prob meant it's good at revenging strong attackers and if so include a couple more examples of things it outspeeds and kos but cant switch in on like tapu lele
*In order to set up, it should be set up on weaker mons/defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex or Buzzwole that can be stopped by Taunt and thus being used as set up.

Team Options
===========
*This set would fit best on offensive teams due to ability to sweep late game. Entry Hazard support from teammates like Shuckle Landorus-Therian and Primal Groudon can be useful for getting up Sticky web and the latter can check Magearna.

Facade can be used over Fake Out and Taunt to take advantage of Will-O-Wisp Arceus formes that try to check it.

Checks and Counters
===============
*Arceus-Rock: Arceus-Rock is quite possibly the best Pinsirite Zeraora check you can ask for as it able to eat what attack Pinsirite Zeraora can go for and retaliate with a Will-o-Wisp or Judgement. However, it must be wary of the potential Lopunnite Zeraora.
*Ground Types: Ground types such as Altarianite Landorus-Therian, & defensive Primal Groudon, and Arceus-Ground can tank a Return and dish out attacks on it as Zeraora is not the bulkiest mon. and can fire back with Overheat or Ice Beam respectively. It should be noted that physical Groudon-Primal sets without Stone Edge struggle to check Zeraora after a Bulk Up boost.
Add phys def Magearna forms (Manec/Lati)
*Strong Priority: Extreme Speed users such as Zygarde, Entei, and Genesect can pick off a weaken Zeraora as its defenses are not best.

*Zeraora can use a Pinsirite set, which gives it a strong Electric/Flying STAB, boosts its attack and already blazing speed to great levels, and allows it to check mons like Kartana. - Add salamencite noivern and pinsirite magearna
*Its access to Bulk up allows it to muscle past the majority of the metagame, its also capable of beating defensive walls such as Arceus-Water, Mew, and Aggronite Buzzwole come to mind with the access of Taunt. - This should be split into two points, it beats waterceus because of its stab not because of taunt, mew generally doesn't get beaten at all, and aggronite buzzwole is only beaten by taunt variants. The first point should list some defensive mons that are weak to its stabs (ho-oh mandibuzz etc), the second point should explain that taunt variants are capable of getting past aggronite buzzwole and support arceus.
*Zeraora's access to Fake out allows it to easily get off the mega evolution and scout for the opposing side as well as provide additional speed control for your team.
*However, due to its weakness to Stealth Rocks after Mega Evolving, it limits its switchins can get worn down quickly.
*Zeraora also lacks recovery, which means that its unable to stay at a high amount of HP which means that it is unable to repeatedly switch in on the mons that it checks.

[SET]
Zeraora @ Pinsirite
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Return
- Plasma Fists
- Bulk Up
- Fake Out/Taunt

Moves
===========

*Return provides Zeraora a powerful STAB move is Zeraora's main STAB move, which hits hard on targets that resist/are immune to electric moves such as Zygarde, Kartana, and Landorus-Therian. Frustration is an alternative move for Zeraora to counteract max happiness Ditto.
*Plasma Fists is your main Electric move a secondary STAB move which threatens water and flying types such as Pinsirite Magearna, Primal Kyogre, and Waterceus.
* Bulk Up boosts Zeraora's Attack and Defense stats, allowing it to break through threats it normally couldn't with ease, such as Groudon-Primal, Magearna, and Aggronite Buzzwole. - Change this point. Bulk up is important since it helps zeraora clean and allows it to take less damage from altarianite zygarde/entei.
*Fake Out allows it to get off the first turn mega evolution as well as having a priority move. - It also improves its ability to revenge chipped terrakion and darkrai.
*Taunt allows Zeraora to prevent status moves and defensive Pokemon like Aggronite Buzzwole, Manectite Mew, and support Arceus forms from recovering.

Set Details
===========
*252 Attack EVs and 252 Speed EVs with 4 EVs in Special Defense - Elaborate a bit, just say something along the lines of maximizing Zeraora's attack and speed
*Pinsirite gives Zeraora a great ability in Aerilate, greater attack and speed.
*Jolly is recommended to outspeed threats like Metagrossite Kartana, Terrakion, and Diancite Tapu Lele.

Usage Tips
===========
*This set's function is as a sweeper capable of cleaning up late game once its checks have been removed.
*It should be brought in on a U-Turn/Volt Switch or after a Pokemon is sacked so that it is able to force out threats such as Primal Kyogre.
*In order to set up, it should be set up on defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex or Buzzwole that can be stopped by Taunt and thus being used as set up. - Taunt is the secondary move option so should come second in the point. The first half of the point should explain that Zeraora should be set up on defensive pokemon that it can force out with its STABs, such as sablenite buzzwole and skarmory.
- Add a point here to say that it can also set up on the likes of salamencite landorus-therian and kartana against more offensive teams
- Add a point to explain that Zeraora's post-mega typing is important to its role, so it should be megad as early as possible with the help of fake out.
Team Options
===========
*This set would fit best on offensive teams due to ability to sweep late game. Entry Hazard support from teammates like Shuckle, Landorus-Therian, and Primal Groudon can be useful for getting up Sticky web and Stealth Rock, and Groudon-Primal can also check Magearna. - Add a point for defoggers
*Wallbreakers such as Lunala, Darkrai, and Kartana can easily break through teams to the point where Zeraora is able to clean up late game. the latter able to offensively check Zygarde. - Split this into two points. The first should be for special wallbreakers (Lunala, Darkrai, Kyogre-Primal) since they can come in on mons that check zeraora and start wallbreaking. The second should be for physical threats such as altarianite zygarde and kartana, that work together with taunt zeraora to break down physical walls.
*If Zeraora is not running Fake Out, Its good to have a Altarianite mon such as Zygarde and Entei to be able to check Diancite Darkrai and provide more reliable speed control.

Other Options
===========
*Glalitite can be good vs the ground types that can typically check it such as Arceus-Ground, Landorus-Therian, and Zygarde.
*Lopunnite is another option as it gives Zeraora a great boost in speed and attack and a Fighting STAB in Close Combat. However it is checked by defensive mons such as Buzzwole, Mew, and Landorus-Therian as a offensive check. as well as offensive mons such as Landorus-Therian and Altarianite Zygarde.
*Facade can be used over Fake Out and Taunt to take advantage of Will-O-Wisp Arceus formes that try to check it.

Checks and Counters
===============
*Arceus-Rock: Arceus-Rock is quite possibly the best Pinsirite Zeraora check you can ask for as it able to eat what attack Pinsirite Zeraora can go for and retaliate with a Will-o-Wisp or Judgement. However, it must be wary of the potential Lopunnite Zeraora.
*Ground Types: Ground types such as Altarianite Landorus-Therian, & defensive Primal Groudon, and Arceus-Ground can tank a Return and can fire back with Overheat or Ice Beam Will-O-Wisp respectively. However, physical Groudon-Primal sets that lack Stone Edge struggle to check Zeraora after a Bulk Up boost.
*Defensive Magearna: Manecite and Latiasite Magearna are able to tank a +1/unboosted Plasma Fists respectively and can fire back with a Fleur Cannon.
*Strong Priority: Extreme Speed users such as Zygarde, Entei, and Genesect can pick off a weaken Zeraora as its defenses are not the best.

- Return
- Plasma Fists

Moves
===========

Return is Zeraora's main STAB move, which hits hard on targets that either add "resist or" are immune to electric moves such as Zygarde, Kartana or take Kartana off since it isn't an immunity sorry to have you add "resist" again but I don't think it makes any sense to group Kartana in with immunities when it is only a resist, and Landorus-Therian. Plasma Fists is a secondary STAB move which threatens water and flying types such as Pinsirite Magearna, Primal Kyogre, and Arceus-Water. Bulk Up boosts Zeraora's Attack and Defense stats, allowing it to improve its chances of cleaning and allows it to take less damage from Altarianite Zygarde/Entei. Fake Out allows it to get off the first turn mega evolution as well as having a priority move. It also improves its ability to revenge chipped Terrakion and Darkrai. Taunt allows Zeraora to prevent status moves and defensive Pokemon like Aggronite Buzzwole, Manectite Mew, and support Arceus forms from recovering.

It should be brought in on a U-Turn/Volt Switch or after a Pokemon is sacked so that it is able to force out threats such as Primal Kyogre. Zeraora should be set up on defensive pokemon that it can force out with its STABs, such as Sablenite Buzzwole and Skarmory, Taunt is the secondary move option to prevent defensive mons from recovering/spreading status. Its also able to set up on the likes of Salamencite Landorus-Therian and Kartana against more offensive teams. Zeraora's post-mega typing is important in checking Pokemon like Kartana and Sablenite Buzzwole as well as providing a Ground immunity, so it should be megad as early as possible with the help of Fake Out.

Team Options
===========
This set would fit best on offensive teams due to ability to sweep late game and prevent opposing cleaners from running through your team in return. Entry Hazard support from teammates like Shuckle, Landorus-Therian, and Groudon-Primal can be useful for getting up Sticky web and Stealth Rock, and Groudon-Primal can also check Magearna. Defoggers such as Skarmory and Sablenite Mandibuz can get rid of Stealth Rocks for Zeraora to keep it healthy and giving it more chances to set-up or attack. Special wallbreakers such as Lunala, Darkrai, and Kyogre-Primal since they can come in on mons that would check Zeraora and start wallbreaking. Physical threats like Altarianite Zygarde and Kartana as they can work together with Taunt Zeraora to break down physical walls. If Zeraora is not running Fake Out, Its good to have a Altarianite mon such as Zygarde and Entei to be able to check Diancite Darkrai and provide more reliable speed control.

Other Options
===========
Glalite can be good vs serve as a lure against the ground types that can typically check it such as Arceus-Ground, Landorus-Therian, and Zygarde. Lopunnite is another option as it gives Zeraora a great boost in speed and attack and a Fighting STAB in Close Combat. However it is checked by defensive mons such as Buzzwole, Mew, as well as offensive Pokemon such as Landorus-Therian and Altarianite Zygarde. Facade can be used over Fake Out and Taunt to take advantage of Will-O-Wisp Arceus formes and Aggronite Mews that attempt to check it.

Checks and Counters
===============
**Arceus-Rock**: Arceus-Rock is quite possibly the best Pinsirite Zeraora check you can ask for as it able to eat what attack Pinsirite Zeraora can go for and retaliate with a Will-o-Wisp or Judgement. However, it must be wary of the potential Lopunnite Zeraora.

**Ground Types**: Ground types such as Defensive Primal Groudon, and Arceus-Ground can tank a Return and can fire back with Overheat or Will-O-Wisp respectively. However, physical Groudon-Primal sets that lack Stone Edge struggle to check Zeraora after a Bulk Up boost.

**Defensive Magearna**: Manecite and Latiasite Magearna are able to tank a +1/unboosted Plasma Fists respectively and can fire back with a Fleur Cannon.

**Strong Priority**: Extreme Speed users such as Zygarde, Entei, and Genesect can pick off a weaken Zeraora as its defenses are not the best.

Special wallbreakers such as Lunala, Darkrai, and Kyogre-Primal Primal Kyogre pairs well with Zeraora, as since they can come in on mons Pokemon that would check Zeraora and start wallbreaking. Physical threats like Altarianite Zygarde and Kartana also make good teammates, as they can work together with Taunt Zeraora to break down physical walls.

So you need to take another look at the grammar standards. Too many basic errors. Also, your prose is a bit repetitive. For example, most of your sentences in the overview started with "X allows it" which isn't particularly good. I fixed a little bit of it for now. Also, make sure to follow the format for gen 7 analyses. If you got any questions, just send me a PM. Oh, and you can change the set name to whatever is appropriate, I just gave it a standard name based on what you've written.

Its Zeraora's STAB allows it to beat defensive mons Pokemon like Arceus-Water, Ho-oh, and Sablenite Buzzwole.[add],[remove] Its access to Taunt allows it Zeraora to get past Pokemon like Aggronite Buzzwole and support Arceus. Its access to Fake out allows it Zeraora to easily get off the mega evolution Mega Evolve and scout for the opposing side,[add] as well as provide additional speed control for your team. However, due to its weakness to Stealth Rocks Rock after Mega Evolving,[remove] it can get worn down quickly. Zeraora also lacks recovery, which means that it is unable to repeatedly switch in on the mons Pokemon that it checks.

Usage Tips
===========

This set's function is as a sweeper capable of cleaning up late-[add]game once its Zeraora's checks have been removed,[add] as well as a reliable revenge killer for Kartana,[add] and Terrakion,[add] and Lunala after they have been previously damaged chipped. it Zeraora should be brought in on a U-Turn/[remove] or Volt Switch,[add] or after a Pokemon is sacked sacrificed so that it is able to force out threats such as Primal Kyogre. Zeraora primarily should be set up on defensive Pokemon that it can force out with its STABs, such as Sablenite Buzzwole and Skarmory, Taunt is the secondary move option to prevent defensive mons from recovering/spreading status. its Zeraora is also able to set up on the likes of Metagrossite Kartana against on more offensive teams.

Team Options
===========
[space]
This set would fit best on offensive teams due to its ability to sweep late-[add]game and prevent opposing cleaners from running through your team in return. Entry hazard support from teammates like Shuckle,[remove] and Groudon-Primal Primal Groudon can be useful for getting setting up Sticky Web and Stealth Rock, and Groudon-Primal Primal Groudon can also check Magearna. Defoggers such as Skarmory and Sablenite Mandibuzz can get rid of Stealth Rocks Rock for Zeraora to keep it healthy and giving it more chances to set-up set up or attack. Special wallbreakers such as Lunala, Darkrai, and Kyogre-Primal Primal Kyogre pairs well with Zeraora, as since they can come in on mons Pokemon that would check Zeraora and start wallbreaking. Physical threats like Altarianite Zygarde and Kartana also make good teammates, as they can work together with Taunt Zeraora to break down physical walls. If Zeraora is not running Fake Out, Its it's good to have a Altarianite mon Pokemon such as Zygarde and Entei to be able to check Diancite Darkrai and provide more reliable speed control.
