[SET COMMENTS]
Pixilate Zacian-C is a powerful wallbreaker with good defensive utility. Coil gives Population Bomb perfect accuracy, boosting its damage output enough to OHKO neutral Arceus formes and check Substitute users. Extreme Speed allows Zacian-C to revenge kill boosted threats like Miraidon and Palkia-O while out-prioritizing Prankster Pokemon. Precipice Blades and V-create target Steel-types such as Arceus-Steel and opposing Zacian-C, but Precipice Blades also hits Fire- and Poison-types super effectively at the cost of power. Protective Pads is necessary to protect against Rocky Helmet damage. Zacian-C appreciates offensive partners like Palkia-O and Groudon that can threaten its checks such as Arceus-Fire. Physically defensive Pokemon like Rocky Helmet Fur Coat Dondozo can Imposter-proof this set, and they can also provide slow pivoting to bring in Zacian-C safely. Zacian-C is vulnerable to status conditions like paralysis, so a cleric can be helpful. A Fairy Tera type ensures that Population Bomb will OHKO Dondozo after a Coil, whereas Tera Fire increases V-create's damage output and improves the matchup against opposing Zacian-C.
