Zeraora's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Zeraora PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Zeraora strikes Pokémon GO as the best Mythical in the game, immediately establishing itself as one of the top Electric types by overtaking Mega Manectric and Xurkitree in DPS! Mythical Pokémon hardly ever make an astounding debut. Darkrai and the Hoopa duo are some of the only other meta-relevant species. Let's see how good Zeraora is!

Zeraora’s damage output is only behind Mega Raichu Y and X, each of them flexing +Zap Cannon and +Volt Tackle, and it surpasses everything else in the Electric meta. Of course, what makes this possible is its signature attack, Plasma Fists.

Even though Plasma Fists (DPSxDPE of 104.14) is not as strong as Thunder Cage (DPSxDPE of 138.29), Zeraora’s decent ATK of 252 and Party Power make it incredible in combat.

The best part about this is that Mega Zeraora is all set to be the #1 Electric type in Pokémon GO, surpassing both Mega Raichu Y and X. So not only did this Mythical offer instant value on its release, but it also justifies getting powered up and even a Bottle Cap investment, given the prospects!

In a nutshell, Zeraora is one of the most impactful Pokémon in the game for both newbie and seasoned trainers.

Zeraora PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

A Fast Attack that gives both high damage and energy generation [3.5 DPT/4.00 EPT], a cheap as well as nuke Charged Attack, and all of these boasting a type that gets super-effective coverage against perhaps two of the most dominant Great League types (Water and Flying)... Zeraora makes an explosive statement in the Great League meta, requiring barely a power-up from its Research capture.

The Twilight Trials GBL move updates also gave Zeraora its only coverage move in the form of Dynamic Punch. With this in tow, this Mythical blasts through Shadow Forretress, regular and Shadow Snorlax, Morpeko, Thievul, Kingdra, and Furret, in addition to expected wins against Water and Flying types, two of the most common threats in the Great League. Due to its fragility, Zeraora is best used with shields, although it's still quite a menace even in the (0-0) shield scenario. This is a super dominant Mythical that can excel in any shield situation and puts the entire PvP scene on notice!

🟡 Ultra League

With no dearth of Water and Flying types running rampant, Zeraora continues to dominate in the Ultra League. It boasts a high win rate in all shield scenarios, ironically being the best in the (0-0) shield scenario despite its low bulk. This is due its fast and hard-hitting style of combat that helps take down the likes of Shadow Ninetales, Melmetal, Alolan Ninetales, Cobalion, Shadow Typhlosion, and Forretress. As a closer, it also manages to beat Snorlax, Alolan Muk, Kyurem, Malamar (both Foul Play and Superpower), Tinkaton, and Shadow Annihilape. Zeraora is definitely a very desirable pick for your teams.

🟣 Master League

Zeraora loses some of its steam in the Master League. It is quite underwhelming in the (1-1), barely managing a handful of expected wins. It does flip the script by a bit in the (0-0) and (2-2), garnering some wins, practically doing better against Fairy types in the (0-0) and Steel types in the (2-2). Overall, you'd prefer Zeraora in the lower PvP Leagues more than the Master League.
