[OVERVIEW]
Boasting an array of valuable resistances and a prized immunity to Psychic, Zweilous is an accomplished specially-defensive wall in BW PU. Zweilous also boasts a surprisingly powerful Crunch thanks to Hustle. Unfortunately, Zweilous has to grapple with Hustle's lowered accuracy and has to rely on Rest for healing, making for a sometimes inconsistent Pokemon.
[SET]
name: Specially Defensive
move 1: Rest
move 2: Sleep Talk
move 3: Crunch
move 4: Roar / Dragon Tail
item: Eviolite
ability: Hustle
nature: Careful
evs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
Rest is for healing HP and status, and Sleep Talk is to let Zweilous avoid being too passive even when dealing with BW Sleep. Crunch is the preferred STAB as it is the most reliable STAB even though Hustle does drop Crunch's accuracy to 80%. The last move is a choice between Roar and Dragon Tail: Roar can't miss and almost always works as a phaze even through Substitute, but Dragon Tail does good damage and hits Soundproof Pokemon but can miss at crucial times.
Paragraph 2: Usage tips, good Pokemon combinations
Zweilous resists Water-, Dark-, and Grass-type attacks from threats such as Swanna and Shiftry, so teammates like Monferno, Beheeyem, and Stunfisk appreciate the synergy. Zweilous does bring a lot of valuable resistances to the table but does have common weaknesses to types such as Fighting and Ice. Partners like Vileplume, Bronzor, and Frillish can cover those weaknesses while Zweilous patches up the Fire- and Electric-type weaknesses that they have.
