Zacian (Crowned Sword)

GBL Note Analysis

Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings

✔ Strengths & how to use

• High matchup stability gives it even, reliable performance across a wide field.
• It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples Mega Gyarados(#6) · Dialga (Origin)(#8) · Black Kyurem(#11), giving it real value as a meta counter.
• On defense it double-resists Bug · Dragon · resists Normal · Grass · Ice · Poison · Flying · Psychic etc, holding up well against those attackers.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is weak to Fire · Ground, so watch out for those attackers.
• High attack but thin bulk means shield management heavily decides its games.
• It's notably unfavored into Primal Groudon (usage rank #25), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
