Hey guys, Phil here and welcome to my new set of articles about VGC 2016. These articles will summarise my channel’s VGC’16 content, or more specifically where I’m spotlighting an unpopular Pokémon and how to use it. You can view my first video in the series below, or alternatively you can visit my channel.

#1 Zygarde

Today I’ll be taking a look at Zygarde, who has seen very little use in the early 2016 metagame. Although Xerneas is very popular, this basic spread makes Zygarde more than viable in the new format. The Aura Break ability is what makes Zygarde viable, and my set (shown below) will be able to Glare Primal Groudon before it uses Substitute (a common move).
