Likely tier: Uber

---

I JUST got Zekrom, and boy is it a shame that this beauty can't learn Earthquake - it would've been a TRUE force to be reckoned with!

I don't get it - Zekrom has all 3 things going for it to learn this move:

1.) High attack
2.) Heavy
3.) Zekrom's ability

WHYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Answer 1

An Uber for sure. More powrful than Reshiram, I only have one complaint. It can't learn Earthquake. It is yet another Pokemon I give the Adament nature.

Ability: Terra Voltage

EVs: HP, Attack, Defense Nature: Adament

Lightning Strike: Very powerful, physical, and 20% chance to paralyze. The accuracy raise from Claw Sharpen really makes it the STAB move of choice over Cross Thunder.

Claw Sharpen: Increases Attack while increasing accuracy for Lightning Strike.

Outrage: The Dragon move of choice in the Uber enviroment.

Crunch: Okay, as I have said before, there are a ton of Psychics in Uber, so Crunch is a must.

Answer 2

Lightning Strike/Cross thunder-Mercy on all his victims. Cross thunder is a little bit weaker, but more reliable. Plus, in double battles it gains more power when cross flame is used in conjunction (like from reshiram? Major power in the uber field.)

Outrage/Draco meteor-Tons of dragons in Uber, so this is fine. If you want a mixed sweeper, then Draco meteor still kills everything in its path.

Crunch-Deals with those psychic types, I;m looking at you Mewtwo...

Claw sharpen/Light screen-boosts stats as trachy said. There aren't many pokemon in the Uber tier that use brick break, so you could use light screen without too much trouble. And with all those legendary special sweepers...

I see he has a catch rate of 45.... Can that be right?

Lightning Strike-Cross thunder-Claw sharpen.How i can find these moves in zekrom ? From event ?i can't find this moves at http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/zekrom

Because they have different names. That was answered before the official English names were released.

Lightning Strike=Bolt Strike
Cross Thunder=Fusion Bolt
Claw Sharpen=Hone Claws

I'm not sure that Lightning Strike is a real move

Answer 4

Whelp, Everythings Already Covered except a Special Sweeper, I Guesss Ill Give That.

Nature: Rash/Mild

EVs: 252 Speed, 252 SA, 4 HP

Thunderbolt: Yeah.

Flash Cannon: Covers Ice, and Those Rock/Ground Types.

Dragon Claw/Outrage: STAB

Shadow Ball/Psychic/Hyper Voice: Back Up.

Comments

If it's truly a special sweeper, shouldn't it have Dragon Pulse instead?

Answer 5

Mixed Bulkyish Zekrom

Ability: Teravolt

Nature: Naive

EVs: 252 Spe, 176 HP, 80 SpA

Item: Life Orb/Leftovers

Bolt Strike: Great STAB move for Zekrom, absolute demolishes Ho-Oh, Kyorge and co on their weaker physical defence.

Outrage/Draco Meteor: Another great STAB choice for Zekrom, Outrage for hitting the likes of Chansey, Blissey and others on their weaker physical defence, Draco Meteor for hitting the likes of Groudon harder on their weaker special defence.

Earth Power/Focus Blast/Hidden Power (Fire): Earth Power to hit the likes of Heatran, Dialga, and other Steel types hard. Focus Blast to handle Ferrothorn and Tyranitar as well as the likes of Heatran and Dialga. Hidden Power Fire to hit Ferrothorn, Scizor and some other Steel types harder than the aforementioned moves.

Roost: Helps keep Zekrom healthy, especially when using Life Orb as your preferred item.

Answer 6

My zekrom is at lvl 100 Gentle nature and knows ;
draco meteor (i preffer this over outrage, more power and usually knocks out other dragons with one hit)
Bolt strike (very powerful but crap accuracy)
Psychic (good chance of lowering sp. Def)
and Hyper voice (backup)

hope this helps :D

Answer 7

Ability: Teravolt
Nature: Timid
Hold Item: Wide Lens

• Bolt Strike - An obvious move. Lv. 100. 130 Sp.Atk. power, 85 accuracy, but boosted with wide lens. 20% chance of paralysis.
• Draco Meteor/Outrage- If you want my full answer to this specific choice, refer to my Reshiram moveset. But basically, Draco Meteor: bigger boom, harshly decreases Sp.Atk. Outrage: devastating temper tantrum, confused with fatigue after 2-3 turns.
• Stone Edge - Eradicate ice-types fast with 100 power and 80 accuracy.
• Substitute - A move to fill the gap of the tragic fact that I cannot find a move that is super-effective against ground-types within Zekrom's movepool.

To effectively target ground types, either switch to a more strategic pokemon or try to power your way through it's defenses.

Comments

Should run Crunch instead of Sub, helps against the many Psychics, Timid lowers attack, so Jolly. If running Draco, use Naive, and Have a life orb because it benefits special attacks and physical.

Bolt Strike hits harder against Psychic, Outrage hits for equal.

Answer 8

Bolt strike/fusion bolt: for obvious reasons.
Draco meteor: It's the best dragon move, so don't forget to use PP ups!
Focus blast: fighting type is a very strong type, so that's why.
Fly:For flying around.
