Sacred Sword.

Ice Fang does provide coverage against Ground types, but Sacred Sword hits both of your weaknesses neutrally, which, I would say, is better than hitting 1 of your weaknesses super effectively and one of you weaknesses for not very effective damage. Also, if you put Ice Fang on there, what happens when Zacian is your last Pokémon and the opponent sends out a Fire type? It will resist all of your moves and (eventually) take you down. So, that’s one of the reasons you should use Sacred Sword.

Another reason is just raw power and secondary effects. Yes, this isn’t a deciding factor, as some moves hove low base power yet have secondary effects that set them apart (remember Z-Splash, anyone?). Flinch or Freeze are both cool things, but how about your opponent uses Cotton Guard (I know, I’m just throwing moves out there) and your opponent somehow gets to +6 (you let them use it twice). Ice Fang isn’t doing anything to it. But then you pull out your Sacred Sword that ignores stat changes. And even though a lot of Pokémon that have Cotton Guard are Fairy types, you can chip them down slowly. Plus, Sacred Sword in general is just a stronger move than poor Ice Fang (plus you are going to miss when you don’t want to miss, ‘cause that’s when it happens most).

So, in conclusion, I believe that Sacred Sword is a better option than Ice Fang.

Hope this helped!!! :)

Zacian is better with Sacred Sword. Sacred Sword hits most of the steel types that would otherwise wall Zacian. I’d even consider using Close Combat over Sacred Sword for a stronger alternative.

Hope this helped!

I would do sacred sword because ice fang has a 95 accuracy with 65 base power. You could always sworddance it but sacred sword has 100 accuracy and 90 base power. My zacian does not have sacred sword or ice fang but sacred sword is best!
