Strategy Overview

Zeraora uses its speed and access to valuable utility moves to support a variety of different teamstyles, from balance to hyper offense, by acting as a solid offensive pivot. Fake Out is always valuable, and Zeraora also can threaten the Ghost-types like Dragapult that are immune to it with a faster Knock Off. Being the fastest Pokemon in the tier is one of Zeraora's most helpful traits, especially benefitting Fake Out and Taunt. Zeraora's bulk isn't stellar, but when combined with an immunity to Electric, two resistances, and only one weakness, it's generally sufficient to pivot throughout the battle. Grass-types like Rillaboom, Amoonguss, and Tsareena can cause problems for Zeraora, so Fire-types like Heatran and Volcarona are solid teammates, and they also appreciate Zeraora's ability to threaten Water-type foes. Zeraora also needs help handling Zygarde and other Ground-type enemies, so Kyurem-B is another solid option, and it also helps with those Grass-types. Although Zeraora's utility moves can be valuable in many situations, if one of those situations isn't currently happening, then it can be a bit of a momentum sink, struggling to scare many popular threats.
