    Ika covered most bases, but I would say full pass is unplayable, the most viable passing is probably Dragapult DD semi-pass, but in this current meta with too many things that outspeed pult and just too hard hitting in general, I would not recommend baton pass in almost any capacity. It also...

    You dont need that many answers to Zacian, you already have a faster legend so theres no need for Torkoal and Quagsire to also aim for that niche, better to shift quag in particular to a different mon. Ika explained pretty well but I would go for a different ground type, maybe something like...

    All of these pokemon are fine, but without a team paste, its hard to tell what you are going for. First things first though, you need at least one Pokemon that can beat Zapdos consistently; currently you have 0 of those, since Excadrill is opting for Stealth Rock as opposed to offensive, which...

    Hi, welcome to BSS! Excadrill in the current metagame (series 8 with 1 restricted pokemon allowed) is mostly running sand rush offense, which doesn't really pair well with Stealth Rock, so I'd recommend either using a different Excadrill set (such as Sand Rush Life Orb 3 attacks + Swords Dance)...

    Eternatus is already top tier On Zapdos, we are purposely not trying to do an ultra individualized tier list so Zapdos will not be getting its own tier, even if its better than most restricted mons. The rest will be taken into account when we discuss rerankings near the end of the month
