Dragapult + Galarian Zapdos VoltTurn Offense

by Quantum Tessseract

This is a team built around a pivot core of Dragapult + Galarian Zapdos, which is very strong at the moment. Dragapult is fast and strong right off the bat, which allows it to force out or KO a lot of offensive Pokemon and then bring in Galarian Zapdos. Galarian Zapdos is incredibly difficult to wall and can easily take advantage of defensive Pokemon that likes to come in on Dragapult, like Blissey. Thanks to its excellent STAB combination and U-turn, it doesn't need to rely on making many predictions to function. The rest of the team has the goal of supporting these attackers. Blissey handles opposing Dragapult, keeps entry hazards off the field, and brings in the offensive pivot safely. Landorus-T is the mandatory Ground-type, stopping Regieleki and Zeraora from running rampant against this team, and has solid utility in other matchups. Ho-Oh gives the team passive recovery, acts as a midground Pokemon to scout, and serves as an emergency check to setup sweepers like Xerneas with Whirlwind. Mew is the glue that holds the team together and checks powerful physical attackers the team otherwise struggles against, like Entei, Zygarde, and opposing Galarian Zapdos.
