UU Zeraora [UU]

[Hilomilo]

Zeraora @ Life Orb
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Plasma Fists
- Close Combat
- Grass Knot
- Knock Off / Volt Switch

Zeraora is a fearsome presence in UU, capable of using its Speed, decent offenses, and fantastic coverage to threaten large portions of the metagame. With the listed coverage options, it can revenge kill prominent sweepers like Terrakion, Latias, and Cobalion after some chip damage while also nailing conventional Electric-type checks like Hippowdon and Hydreigon. If running Volt Switch, Zeraora can also function as a pivot capable of generating momentum as it forces switches. Due to its lacking defensive utility, Zeraora usually only fits well on highly offensive builds where it can make the most of the its Speed and offensive prowess. Its ability to punch holes in teams early on can prove useful to cleaners like Kommo-o and Mega Sharpedo. Zeraora itself appreciates entry hazard setters like Mamoswine on its team in order to maximize damage output, while pivots such as Scizor and Hydreigon are also appreciated for their ability to safely bring Zeraora into play. Due to its frailty, Zeraora can sometimes rely too heavily on prediction to stay healthy, but its colorful movepool and great Speed still give it a valuable niche!

I think you should mention somewhere towards the end that Zeraora is really prediction reliant, and thus must be used aggressively in order to actually wallbreak. Also, mention Hydreigon alongside Scizor in the sentence about pivots.

QC 1/1

Due to its frailty, Zeraora can at times rely too heavily on careful prediction so as not to damage its longevity, though sometimes rely too heavily on prediction to stay healthy, but (I think this is a LOT less clunky than the original phrasing, but up to you) its colorful movepool and great Speed still give it a valuable niche!

this spotlight is very good grammar-wise, good job!
