Zebstrika is pretty par for the course for an Electric Pokemon, having blazing fast Speed and decent offenses while being very frail. It is notable for being one of the few Electric-types that have a higher Attack compared to their Special Attack, and all of its abilities give it an immunity while also providing it with a handy stat boost. In particular, its Sap Sipper ability is unique for an Electric-type, giving it a better matchup against many Grass-types. Zebstrika's main issue is its terrible movepool, having a limited range of attacks that tend to force it into being a special attacker, which uses its weaker attack stat. It also has paper-thin defenses, so any Pokemon that outspeeds or outprioritizes Zebstrika can comfortably take it down. | |||
While Zebstrika's stats might suggest that it's a physical attacker at first glance, its physical movepool is absolutely pathetic, having a total lack of any useful coverage moves, forcing it to rely mainly on special moves for attacks. Thunderbolt makes the ideal STAB move for this purpose, dealing high damage with perfect accuracy. Volt Switch is another staple Electric move, letting Zebstrika switch out while dealing damage and maintain offensive pressure on the enemy team. Overheat gives Zebstrika a Fire-type nuke useful for taking out Grass-types. Lastly, Hidden Power can be used to target any holes in Zebstrika's coverage, with Ice covering two common Electric resists Ground and Dragon. | |||
