>>58450537>no bulk>216hpHonestly this comment reminds me of the time when Zygarde-complete stats were first revealed and people were saying how it was gonna be trash because it "only" got a buff to its hp
>just use super effective moves broThere are plenty of Pokemon in Ubers that don't run supereffective coverage against Zygarde because they are used to check other things, of course Zygarde will get destroyed against a team with 6 Fairies or Ice types, but those teams will get destroyed by the rest of Zygardes teammates like Necrozma Dusk Mane, and opposing Necrozma Dusk mane likewise are perfect setup fodder for Zygarde, alongside plenty of other top tier Ubers.
And letting Zygarde just sit there behind a sub is a bad idea when its Dragon Dancing, boosting its mediocre speed, or Glaring you, ruining yours, its far from setup fodder even for something like Geomancy Xerneas, particularly early on if your opponent is stupid enough to waste their Power Herb whilst your Xerneas check is still healthy.
Mega Zygarde might still be bad because losing leftovers sucks for Zygarde complete, AND the opportunity cost of using up your mega slot, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it become the standard for substitute+Dragon dance variants as even uninvested Zygarde complete hits a higher special attack stat than Deoxys attack, and the extra speed will be nice to help it outrun fast scarfers that outran it even at +2 speed.
