Zygarde @ Leftovers
Ability: Power Construct
EVs: 228 Atk / 48 SpD / 232 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
- Thousand Arrows
- Dragon Tail
Zygarde-C is one of the most prevalent Pokemon in the metagame, capable of checking other top-tier threats such as Primal Groudon and Ho-Oh. While Zygarde-C is known for using its immense bulk to be a durable behemoth, it can also utilize its bulk to set up with Dragon Dance and sweep. Thousand Arrows provides invaluable coverage, hitting almost the entire tier for neutral damage and opening up more moveslots. Substitute allows Zygarde to manage its Power Construct and safely set up against passive Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Chansey. Dragon Tail enables Zygarde-C to wear down its switch-ins like support Arceus formes to prepare for its own sweep and lets Zygarde-C phaze Lugia and Skarmory before they phaze it. 232 Speed EVs let Zygarde-C outspeed Mega Gengar and Marshadow at +1. Zygarde-C heavily benefits from hazard support to wear down its checks for a sweep, especially with Dragon Tail, so hazard setters like Primal Groudon, Necrozma-DM, and Ferrothorn make good partners that also check Fairy-types. Furthermore, Mega Gengar can trap and remove Fairy-types for Zygarde-C, while Steel-types like Necrozma-DM and Magearna can switch into Fairy- and Ice-type moves.
