I want to just throw out a few of the comments I got from the community regarding the typing and how it helps Zacian before I move on:

Zacian… Zacian operates quite differently. Togekiss and Sylveon are of course Charmers, wearing things down primarily - oftentimes entirely - with heavy STAB fast move damage, and their charge moves may steal a shield here or there, but are mostly an afterthought. But it’s still a relative rarity in Master League in particular, with really only Togekiss, sometimes Sylveon, and now the much different Zacian representing the type. Fairy is a type commonly encountered in all major GBL Leagues, from Cottonee in Little League and Wigglytuff in Great League and all the way up to Sylveon and long-time ML stalwart Togekiss in Master League. Of course many mentioned the unpredictable charge moves (we’ll get to that later), but just as many said that a huge part of Zacian’s threat profile was that it’s just so hard to counter, and that comes in very large part down to the typing. I took a little poll on Twitter yesterday, asking what about Zacian impressed or just scared them the most. (Chompy has about 232 Attack, 175 Defense, and 213 HP at Master League level.) So Zacian will certainly never be considered “tanky”.īUT, what it does have is a very favorable typing. The closest and easiest comp I can find is Garchomp, who has slightly higher Attack and has basically a mirror image of Zacian’s Defense and HP.

ZACIAN STATS & MOVES Zacian Fairy Master League Stats Attack There IS a trick you can use to surprise opponents and make it interesting, which we’ll discuss, but it’s still kind of niche.Īlright, now for the deeper dive….

Zamazenta is probably better than you think, and would be far more interesting if Zacian didn’t do basically the same job, but far better.

In long… well, keep reading past the BLUF. In short, part of it is a typing that is hard to directly counter with current viable Master League Pokémon, and part of it is the varied, high-coverage movepool.

The below analysis attempts not to break down the question of whether Zacian is good in PvP or not, but WHY it IS so good.

Again, nothing you didn’t know already, right? (In other news, the sky is indeed blue.) It can hit hard in lead, switch, or closer positions and can find a good spot on nearly all Master League teams.

Zacian is far better than just simulations show.

Wait, wasn’t this supposed to be about Zamazenta too?.

Hopefully, by the end, we can get at what really makes Zacian tick, beyond even the raw numbers.īut before I go any further down that road, here’s our Bottom Line Up Front before we get into the meat of the article. Some of it from other fellow players, not just ol’ me. I’ll still reference some pertinent sims but want to focus on some other analysis too. So for this particular analysis, I’m doing things a little differently. And that is part of why it has taken Master League by storm. Because it doesn’t play like most other Pokémon and like PvPoke and other simulators expect. Because what I primarily do is examine simulated battles, and those, quite frankly, sell Zacian short. I’ll come out and say it: I underestimated it during my initial analysis on it a year ago, when it was first released. (Especially since, as I wrote about back in June, they’ve only been available for a mere seven days prior to this, far less than most other Legendaries.) I’m sure it’s no surprise if I tell you that Zacian in particular is very, very good in GBL Master League, but today we look at WHY.

So unfortunately, the subjects of today’s analysis are already out in raids as I finish this article, but the good news is there is still plenty of time to raid the heck out of ZACIAN and ZAMAZENTA, and yes, it’s well worth doing so. 😅 But this is actually the one I started on FIRST and just kept pushing it onto the back burner as the others rose in priority and had impending deadlines. Hello, Pokéfriends! Well here we go, my sixth article over the last eight days.
