Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Zekrom's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 3 Attack EVs per KO for it. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
When the interior part of its tail spins like a motor, Zekrom can generate many bolts of lightning to blast its surroundings.
Mythology tells us that if people lose the righteousness in their hearts, their kingdoms will be razed by Zekrom’s lightning.
Zekrom Weakness
