Strategy Overview

Vespiquen is a poor choice for ZU due to its horrible defensive typing and poor stats making it incapable of switching into common attackers in the tier like Jynx and Silvally formes. Use Articuno or Alolan Persian, which are superior defensive pivots with better stats and typing for the metagame and can pose an offensive threat.
