# 644: Zekrom (Dragon/ Electric)
100/ 150/ 120/ 120/ 100/ 90
Terra Voltage
The Black Yin Pokemon. Just like its counterpart, Reshiram, Zekrom has a unique typing – Dragon/ Electric; but unlike the White Yang Pokemon, Zekrom’s offensive base stat layout is basically the
opposite of Reshiram’s. While its counterpart has a base 150 SpA stat and a base 120 Atk stat, Zekrom has a base 150 Atk stat and a base 120 SpA stat so it will wreak the same havoc Reshiram will, but only on the other side of the offensive spectrum.

*******************************************************
okay let's begin with my favorite BW Pokemon: Zekrom. Electric/Dragon is a cool offensive typing, resisted only by Magnezone, Steelix, Doryuuzu (Ground/Steel), and Nattorei (Grass/Steel). As you can see, Zekrom hits like a nuke, having access to Draco Meteor as well as a 130 BP physical electric move. In fact, Zekrom is strong enough to OHKO the bulkiest of Kyogre without any boosting item through that move alone.
Unfortunately, Zekrom has a few issues. Its movepool sucks compared to the other Dragons (it doesn't even get Earthquake, yet Latias does?), though Zekrom thankfully has excellent coverage and power in its STABs. The lack of Fire move bites though. Also, Teravoltage, though cool in name, does almost absolutely nothing for Zekrom. 90 base Speed is terrible as well, along with weaks to Ground/Ice/Dragon :(
Something like this can probably work
Zekrom @ Haban Berry / Life Orb
Trait: Teravoltage
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SAtk (as to prevent speed creeps)
Mild Nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Draco Meteor
- M550
- Volt Charge / Thunder Wave
- Focus Blast / Thunder Wave / Hidden Power Fire
Okay, the EV spreads are just preliminary atm. He's going to have more speed than zero. M550 is strong enough to OHKO the bulkiest of Kyogre, while destroying Blissey and Steels, while Draco Meteor hits Groudon switch ins (given that Zekrom is physically oriented, Groudon is more likely to come in), and clears Garchomp out. Volt Charge is well...U-turn I guess, allowing you to continue momentum, but may not be as useful as the counterpart because of the insane power of DM / M550 anyways. Because Thunder Wave hits Ground types now (I think), you can toss that around more freely, and it fixes Zekrom's Speed issue to an extent. Focus Blast is really just for Nattorei, should it become common in Ubers. It also hits Dialga harder than Draco Meteor. HP Fire is well...for the same reason I guess.
Haban means he'll survive most dragon moves (won't be ohkoed by Scarf Dialga Draco Meteor after SR). Life Orb means Zekrom hits like a ridiculous nuke (he OHKOes max/max+ Lugia with it and M550), but it sacrifices Zekrom's survivability by quite a bit.
