      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      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 AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🔵 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. 👎
