How viable is Zygarde in National-Dex AG?

Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.

Defensive Zygarde-C is a premier wall in AG thanks to its ability to check the majority of physical attackers, including Primal Groudon, Ho-Oh, Necrozma-DM, Dragon Dance Mega Rayquaza, and Zacian-C lacking Play Rough. Rest is important to keep Zygarde-C healthy and remove status ailments such as Toxic poison from Ho-Oh, Primal Groudon, and Necrozma-DM. An anti-setup move is mandatory in order to check sweepers like Dragon Dance Necrozma-DM properly. Haze lets Zygarde-C check opposing Zygarde-C with Dragon Tail, avoid being setup fodder for special attackers like Geomancy Xerneas, and deal with Baton Pass strategies. Alternatively, Coil makes Zygarde-C more threatening offensively thanks to the Attack boosts it provides, but it makes this set setup fodder for opposing Dragon Dance Zygarde-C. Glare is a good option to cripple sweepers like Dragon Dance Necrozma-DM and annoy offensive checks like Xerneas and Primal Kyogre, preventing them from switching in freely.

Mandatory on teams lacking Primal Groudon, M-Ray and Dusk Mane counter.

It can also check Zacian-C to some extent, due to it getting lower usage stats and Play Rough has seen lower usage stats, i.e. 58% compared to 80% Close Combat and 60% usage.

Gets Coil, which is simply a-m-a-z-i-n-g, since Play Rough deals only 30% to complete forme at +1 Defense.

As such, it is ranked +A in the National Dex AG viability rankings, and it should be even used more, like mandatory on a team due to Primal Groudon being the most used Pokemon in the tier.

Hope this helps.
