- Thousand Arrows
- Extreme Speed
- Outrage
- Toxic / Glare
Thousand Arrows and Adaptability make "ZyDog" a powerful wallbreaker. The tier lacks bulky Grass- and Bug-types to take Thousand Arrows, which hits defensive staples like Tapu Fini and Corviknight for great neutral damage. Extreme Speed picks off faster foes such as Talonflame and Barraskewda. Outrage is its most powerful move, but it's risky, only used when opposing Fairy- and Steel-types have been removed. Toxic puts defensive answers like Dhelmise and Dauntless Shield Mew on a timer, while Glare gives a 25% chance to deny recovery to switch-ins like Dauntless Shield Mandibuzz. Zygarde-10% appreciates offensive partners that can pivot it in due to its poor bulk like Tapu Koko and Choice Scarf Genesect; in return, it can break through Steel-types like Heatran and Jirachi for them. Physical cleaners such as Tapu Bulu and Barraskewda appreciate Zygarde-10% wearing down and poisoning shared checks such as Mew and Mandibuzz so they can sweep.
