Zapdos Entei

by iapt

Two powerful physical breakers that share common checks in slowbro and other bulky water types. Over the course of a game, these checks can be quickly worn down by constant battering, especially gapdos' thunderous kick. Both are vulnerable to recoil and dislike taking any extra damage in the form of hazards, so reliable removal is a near necessity. Zapdos' ability to force progress on bulky cores with constant defense drops and entei finishing off weakened teams while dealing well with most common offensive threats makes this duo capable of breaking through most teams. Entei can opt for howl over double edge, although this sacrifices immediate damage output and is most commonly found on hyper offense teams. Zapdos can drop either U-turn or Close Combat for Throat Chop if desired.
