Pokémon Review: Zweilous

Since the last review was Fraxure, I figured it'd be nice to review Zweilous, so here it is!

Zweilous is another of the very few NU dragon-types, and is also an extremely good Pokemon in the NU tier.
Like Fraxure, Zweilous works extremely well with Eviolite in my opinion but just because it's good doesn't mean it doesn't have bad points! - First off, it has a not-so-good 58 base stat in Speed & since the only ability it can have is Hustle, it's accuracy is very bad.
Another bad thing about it is it's movepool -- like many second of third evolution Pokemon, all it really has are Outrage, Crunch and a couple of other stuff.
But don't let the bad points put you off, it has more good points as I haven't explained it's ability yet!

So, Hustle is a very good, but also kinda bad ability -- It makes physical moves do 50% more damage (which is extremely good), but at the cost of only 20% accuracy which is pretty bad.
In-game, it also increases the encounter rate of Pokemon with high levels in the wild.

As for EVs, I normally give it HP, Atk & Spe.

So there are 2 main sets seen on Zweilous, here they are:

Tank
Zweilous @ Eviolite
236 HP/252 Atk/20 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Hustle
Moveset: Outrage, Crunch, Fire Fang, Substitute/Dragon Tail

Choice Scarf
Zweilous @ Choice Scarf
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Hustle
Moveset: Outrage, Crunch, Fire Fang, Return/Dragon Tail

In the TCG:
Card I am reviewing: Zweilous - 78/101 - Noble Victories

I would not recommend using Zweilous in a deck with no Hydreigon as the Zweilous card isn't amazing.
I would recommend evolving as soon as Deino is put in play (if possible) and then evolving into Hydreigon as soon as possible.

But if for any reason you can't evolve into Hydreigon, then I would try and have the 3 energies needed for Strength before you put it as the active Pokemon.
If you don't have the needed energies in time, then just use Double Hit and hope you get 40 damage.
Though if your opponent only has 20-40 HP, it's probably going to be ok to use Double Hit.
