  67. ##Notes
  68.  
  69. #Pupitar
  70. Enough HP and Special Defense to guaranteed live modest Choice Specs Electrode's Tera-Ice Tera Blast. Enough attack for Loaded Dice Rock Blast to guarantee a KO against no-bulk Electrode.
  71.  
  72. #Dunsparce
  73. Enough Special Attack to 4-hit-KO (non-leftovers) Banette with Ice Beam. Everything else in Defense and HP. Banette in return only has a 0.042 percent chance to 4-hit-KO Dunsparce back, which doesn't even matter because I can roost. Gave it Rocky Helmet because I figured the item was probably getting knocked off anyway and chip is indeed chip. Whoops I forgot Swords Dance exists!
  74.  
  75. #Electrode
  76. This is still technically not banned, but probably will be soon. My replacement would probably be Grumpig or some other special wall-breaker/set-up mon. It has enough speed to outrun Jumpluff at max speed. Max special attack and modest for peak damage. Everything else in HP. Whoops I forgor Wugtrio exists. Thankfully my games didn't come down to a Wugtrio and Electrode deathmatch, but maybe 372 speed is the number to hit for that interaction.
  77.  
  78. #Pawmo
  79. Needed another answer to fast mons. There's a severe lack of STAB fighting in ZU.
  80.  
  81. #Leafeon
  82. Pure Set-up mon right here. Was originally Tera-Normal with Double Edge as fourth move, which could still work, but Tera-Steel Stonjourner hard walls it and OHKOs it in return with Stone Edge, so I went with Tera-Ground Tera Blast instead.
  83.  
  84. #Drizzile
  85. Specs and modest because I try to paralyze as much as possible. Tera-Bug because I noticed a lot of bug-weak pokemon in ZU and not a ton of resists (even less resists that relished the idea of switching into a water move) and it also boosts U-Turn.
