Zweilous in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Dark Attacker:
Bite
Dark Pulse - Dragon Attacker:
Dragon Breath
Dragon Pulse
Just like its pre-evolution Deino, Zweilous still doesn't have the chops needed to be relevant in the PvE meta.
⚔️ Raids
Dark and Dragon types include several powerhouses, and Zweilous is nowhere near their level. 🥲
🛡️ Gyms
In a three-stage evolution line, only the fully-evolved Pokémon is usually worthy for Gym defense. Zweilous is out.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Dragon Breath
Body Slam
Dark Pulse - Ultra League:
Dragon Breath
Body Slam
Dark Pulse
🔵 Great League
Dragon Breath Zweilous (don’t go with Bite) can be used with good results in the Great League with its spammy Body Slam and hard-hitting Dark Pulse. This helps Zweilous beat formidable opponents like Shadow Drapion, Galarian Corsola, Clodsire, Charjabug, and even fellow Dark/Dragon-type Guzzlord with ease. 👀
🟡 Ultra League
The "fellow Dark/Dragon-type" Guzzlord completely outclasses Zweilous in the Ultra League, courtesy of its superior stats and better moveset. Zweilous is extremely underwhelming here, unable to keep up with the power levels of this format.
🟣 Master League
Zweilous is not built for the Master League. 👎
