Pokemon GO Zekrom Best Moveset
Now that we know the weakness and counters for Zekrom in Pokemon GO, let’s analyze its moveset. As we’ve already said, we’re dealing with a Dragon / Electric type here, and it’s best to play to these strengths. The combination of Charge Beam (Electric) as the Quick Attack and Wild Charge (Electric) as the Charged Attack is arguably the strongest one. However, you can feel free to substitute them with either Dragon Breath (Dragon Quick Attack) or Outrage (Dragon Charged Attack). You can even go with a full Dragon build if you want to. On the other hand, you can safely ignore the other two Charged Attacks, Crunch (Dark) and Flash Cannon (Steel).
