Zekrom @ Life Orb
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Bolt Strike
- Draco Meteor
- Scale Shot
- Roost
Mixed Zekrom is a nightmare to switch into in Ubers! Its STAB combination gives it almost perfect coverage, notably hitting the ever-present Big Three of Yveltal, Necrozma-DM, and Eternatus. Life Orb-boosted Draco Meteor breaks past the physical walls that attempt to check it such as Landorus-T, Buzzwole, and defensive Zygarde. Scale Shot's Speed boost allows Zekrom to outspeed non-Choice Scarf Calyrex-S, making it exceptionally hard to revenge kill. It can even pose a sweeping threat, and teammates such as Marshadow and offensive Groudon can help by overwhelming shared checks in Xerneas, Zygarde-C, and Landorus-T. Pivots such as U-turn Yveltal and Landorus-T can bring Zekrom in safely, with the former serving as the best check to Calyrex-S. Sludge Bomb Eternatus can lure in defensive Xerneas and beat it while also inviting in Necrozma-DM, which Zekrom beats if it does not carry Earthquake. Necrozma-DM is another fantastic partner, checking Xerneas and setting Stealth Rock to weaken foes for Zekrom. Choice Scarf Kyogre helps deal with Ground-type foes and Lunala, while Zekrom can weaken Eternatus for it.
Check out this replay from SCL, where Exiline dismantles his opponent with proper predictions and mixed Zekrom as the star!
