With the 1v1 metagame moving towards Dragon / Fairy / Steel teams, Assault Vest Zygarde has shot up in usage due to it being a Dragon-type that can handle many of the popular Fairy-types running around. Zygarde sacrifices its amazing ability to set up for immense special bulk with Assault Vest, which is even further bolstered in its Complete forme. Thousand Arrows is useful against foes like Celesteela and Zapdos. Skitter Smack bolsters Zygarde's Special Defense even further by helping against a plethora of potent special attackers. It, in conjunction with Iron Tail, can be used to take on popular Fairy-types such as Togekiss and Tapu Lele. While Zygarde is incredibly bulky, it often can struggle with super effective physical attacks from foes like Avalugg, Regidrago, and Haxorus. By sacrificing its ability to set up with Assault Vest, Zygarde can also be taken advantage of by setup sweepers such as Galarian Zapdos and Tapu Fini. All these factors make Pokemon such as Tapu Fini and Volcanion great partners for Zygarde.

Da sich das 1v1-Metagame in Richtung Dragon / Fairy / Steel-Teams entwickelte, hat Assault Vest-Zygarde an Nutzung zugenommen, da es sich um ein Drachen-Pokémon handelt, welches viele der beliebten Feentypen im Tier besiegen kann. Zygarde opfert seine Fähigkeit ein Setup zu vollziehen für eine enorm hohe Spezialverteidigung. Thousand Arrows ist nützlich gegen Gegner wie Celesteela und Zapdos. Skitter Smack stärkt Zygardes Spezialverteidigung noch weiter, da es gegen eine Vielzahl potenter Spezialangreifer hilft. In Verbindung mit Iron Tail kann es verwendet werden, um gegen beliebte Feen-Typen wie Togekiss und Tapu Lele anzutreten. Obwohl Zygarde unglaublich bulkig ist, hat es oft mit sehr effektiven physischen Angriffen von Gegnern wie Avalugg, Regidrago und Haxorus zu kämpfen. Durch den Verzicht auf die Fähigkeit ein Setup zu vollziehen kann Zygarde auch von Setup-Sweepern wie Galarian Zapdos und Tapu Fini besiegt werden. All diese Faktoren machen Pokémon wie Tapu Fini und Volcanion zu großartigen Partnern für Zygarde.
