- Stone Edge / Toxic

Thousand Arrows makes Zygarde-10% one of RU's most dangerous wallbreakers with one of the tier's most spammable attacks, as normally immune Ground answers like Crobat and Thundurus dare not switch into it. Grass- and Bug-types aren't safe either; Zarude gets walloped by Superpower, which OHKOes after just a little bit of chip, and Bug-types like Golisopod don't want to take a potential Stone Edge. Extreme Speed revenge kills dangerous Pokemon such as Sharpedo and Choice Scarf Xurkitree while also potentially cleaning teams late-game. Stone Edge also reliably 2HKOes all Togekiss, is a roll to OHKO Crobat, and OHKOes Noivern. Toxic is a catch-all option that can cripple the aforementioned threats as well as generally bulky Pokemon such as Seismitoad and Milotic. Zygarde-10% is quite frail, so bulky pivots such as Cobalion, Zarude, and Incineroar are helpful to get it into battle safely. Zygarde-10% is a good offensive check to the dangerous Electric-types in the tier, such as Thundurus and Raikou, so Pokemon that dislike these threats, such as Togekiss, Volcanion, and Golisopod, are good partners.

Thousand Arrows makes Zygarde-10% one of RU's most dangerous wallbreakers, as normally functional Ground-immunities like Togekiss [not quite true, it takes TArrows very well with its usual bulk investment and only fears edge, let's say something like ...Crobat? lmk if u think of a better example] and Thundurus dare not switch into it. This makes it one of the most spammable attacks in the tier. Grass- and Bug-types aren't safe either; Zarude gets walloped by Superpower, which OHKOs after just a little bit of chip, and Bug-types like Golisopod don't want to take a potential Stone Edge. Extreme Speed allows Zygarde-10% to revenge kill dangerous Pokemon such as Sharpedo, Choice Scarf Xurkitree, and Choice Scarf Heracross [you can prob remove Hera if u need to reduce word count, it only does like 50%. maybe u can mention espeed potentially sweeping weakened teams late-game]. Stone Edge also usefully reliably 2HKOs all Togekiss and Golisopod as well as OHKOing Noivern. Toxic is a rather risk-free option that can cripple the aforementioned threats as well as generally bulky Pokemon such as Seismitoad and Milotic. Zygarde-10% is quite frail, so bulky pivots such as Cobalion, Zarude, and Incineroar are helpful, as they help Zygarde-10% get into battle safely. Zygarde-10% is a good offensive check to the dangerous Electric-types in the tier, such as Thundurus and Toxtricity [nah Toxtricity is always spamming Boomburst, let's mention either Xurkitree or Raikou here (though it is shaky vs them)], so Pokemon that dislike these threats, such as Togekiss, Volcanion, and Milotic [Zyg is usually on teams more offensive than Milotic is, though it fits with Flip Turn to bring it into battle / chip Zarude a bit). personally I'd prob mention Golisopod somewhere here, maybe over volc or milo, because spikes + elec weak fits well w zydog.]

Sputnik Great work. QC 1/1

GP 1/1

E: "Toxic is a catch-all option that can cripple" is fine.

say “catch-all” > “rather risk-free” then perhaps
