>>58869158Base Zygarde’s Core Enforcer/Earth Power combo does more damage to key Ubers threats than Thousand Arrows does lol, as well as the same 2HKOs against specific targets, and becomes infinitely more spammable once it transforms. Both of its offenses are mid by Uber standards, so it doesn’t make a significant difference. It’s not like it’s a sitting duck.
>so the moment I see it use a special move I know I have as many turns as I need to chip it downChip down what? I thought you were one shotting it with ice beam? It only needs to sub twice to transform, and in singles it can pick its matchups, which is exactly the same formula on why Zygarde-C has been so good there while it has been shit in VGC. Send it in on something passive, set up sub/ddance, and sweep. That’s the basics of being a sweeper.
