N & Zekrom

The easiest way to consider Zekrom's place in the meta is to conceptualize it as a modernized Garchomp, complete with even greater potential for damage, just as rare a typing, a more useful Terrain partner, and the single target damage type that recent 3v3 formats have pushed back into major relevance. With the introduction of more and more powerful combination tanks, the old problem of finding a third wheel for Zekrom and Luxray has largely disappeared, leaving the team at the forefront of a meta that has never been more accommodating of squishier Striker/Tech duos.
