[SET DETAILS]
Choice Band Zeraora is a fearsome wallbreaker on Electric teams thanks to its access to a reliable Electric STAB move in Plasma Fists, colorful coverage, incredible Speed tier, and respectable Attack stat. Close Combat smashes Steel-types like Ferrothorn and Hisuian Goodra trying to wall it or its teammates, while Knock Off scares off Ghost- and Psychic-types like Sinistcha and Jirachi. Finally, Play Rough hits annoyances like Garchomp for massive damage. Tapu Koko complements Zeraora to a tee by providing Electric Terrain to amp up Plasma Fists to unfathomable levels of power while hitting Dragon-types with its strong Dazzling Gleam. It appreciates Zeraora dispatching specially defensive walls like Chansey, Alolan Muk, and Hisuian Goodra with its strong Plasma Fists and Close Combat. Both Rotom-W and Zapdos are great teammates by virtue of their Ground immunity; Rotom-W functions as a reasonably slow pivot to bring Zeraora in on the aforementioned walls as well as washing away Ground-types with Hydro Pump and removing hazards with Defog, while Zapdos greatly appreciates said walls being broken down and demolishes Grass-types in return. Iron Hands provides a sponge against the likes of Choice Scarf Meowscarada, Choice Scarf Kleavor and Choice Scarf Gholdengo, as well as an entry point thanks to its slow Volt Switch. Alolan Raichu deals with troubling Poison-types like Mega Venusaur and Clodsire thanks to its strong Psyshock, greatly aiding Zeraora's wallbreaking efforts. It, in return, appreciates Alolan Muk being eviscerated by Zeraora.
