Zekrom's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Zekrom PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

The Dragon/Electric-type Zekrom looks bold and backs it up by being a fearsome attacker in Pokémon GO. It's great in both of its types but is particularly brilliant as an Electric-type attacker. ⚡🐲

Access to its signature move, Fusion Bolt, is mandatory to ensure optimal performance. ‼️

💎 Zekrom’s best moveset for PvE: Charge Beam, Fusion Bolt

⚔️ Raids

When not accounting for Megas and Shadows, Zekrom ranks just behind Xurkitree and Thundurus Therian in Electric-type DPS, while boasting higher TDO than both.

As a Dragon type, it is outclassed in stats by many of its peers, mainly because Zekrom lacks Dragon Tail. That said, it is still an amazing Pokémon to have. 🙂

🛡️ Gyms

Legendaries can't be placed in Pokémon GO Gyms.

Zekrom PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Zekrom is not usable in the Great League, and its high stats drop to mediocrity in the Ultra League, making its PvP relevance limited to the Master League.

Sharing the same stats as Dialga, Zekrom is not surprisingly deadly in the Master League. The Electric/Dragon typing gives it widespread coverage, allowing it to handle much of the meta. Beyond demolishing Flying types, its Electric-type neutral damage threatens Steel Pokémon and even Fairies, which Zekrom is usually weak to. 🌩️

Zekrom is built for speed, with fast-charging moves like Fusion Bolt and Crunch (both at 45 energy), making it a shield-zapping menace. ⚡

Additionally, its moveset is flexible, allowing Zekrom to function as either a lead or a closer, adding great versatility in team building. 👌

However, Ground types pose a serious threat, so watch out for them. Overall, Zekrom is a phenomenal Master League Pokémon that you’ll enjoy using. 🤌
