Zekrom Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Zekrom is a Legendary Pokemon rated S-Tier. At 680 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a wallbreaker. That 150 base Attack does the heavy lifting.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Zekrom's biggest threats include Kyurem (Ice), Garchomp (Ground), and Kingdra (Dragon), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. Zekrom has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Teravolt is the go-to ability for Zekrom. It bypasses targets' abilities if they could hinder or prevent moves. It's Zekrom's only ability.
Zekrom is a physical attacker with base 150 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the wallbreaker role.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the best way to handle Zekrom: Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Special attackers bypass its physical bulk.
