Hustle is Zweilous' most significant trait, giving a massive power boost to its physical attacks. Crunch is a powerful STAB move that nails common physical walls such as Galarian Corsola and Hattrem. Substitute is set up when Zweilous forces the opponent to switch out, even though it is broken by common Pokemon such as Tangela, Vullaby, and Galarian Corsola. Body Slam hits opponents that resist Dark-type moves such as Clefairy, Vullaby, and Morgrem. Zen Headbutt hits Fighting-types such as Gurrdurr and Machoke and while also hitting Mareanie super effectively. Protect allows Zweilous to scout the opponent's move and get more Leftovers recovery which helps against Night Shade Galarian Corsola. The EV spread outspeeds uninvested walls such as Vullaby, Roselia, and Tangela.
Zweilous requires good partners to work properly. First of all, because it has no Eviolite and mediocre Speed, many Pokemon such as Raboot, Piloswine, and Electabuzz can revenge kill it easily. Thus, it needs teammates such as Galarian Corsola that can sponge hits from these aforementioned threats. Clefairy is a notable check, as it avoids the 2HKO from any of Zweilous's moves and can OHKO back with Moonblast; Roselia and Ferroseed can check Clefairy and also provide Spikes support. Ferroseed also has Knock Off, which helps weaken potential Zweilous checks such as Gurdurr and Clefairy. Fighting-types such as Gurdurr and Machoke can remove items from checks such as Galarian Corsola and Clefairy, weakening them and allowing Zweilous to break through them more easily. VoltTurn cores such as Electabuzz and Thwackey can sometimes bring Zweilous against Roselia and allowing Zweilous to set Substitute as they are forced out.
