Strategies

For more tips and tricks on using Zacian, see here.

Stack Up On Aeos Energy

Zacian's attacks and maneuvers can be completely enhanced with just 15 Aeos Energy. Therefore, in order to maximize Zacian's damage, it's important to constantly have at least 15 Aeos Energy.

Evolution

Zacian is not known to evolve from any Pokemon, thus having no evolution.

Zacian

Level 1

Ability

All Evolution Stages

Intrepid Sword

If the goal scoring button is held down, the Pokemon with this Ability has its sword charged with Aeos energy, and for a short time, its basic attacks become boosted attacks. In addition, during the effect duration, the Pokemon can use a boosted version of one of its moves once. The longer the goal scoring button is held down, the more Aeos energy is charged into the sword, lengthening the duration of the boos effect on basic attacks and moves. This Ability goes on cooldown after it's triggered. Boosted basic attacks have an increased area of effect and deal additional damage proportional to the opposing Pokemon's HP. When this Pokemon knocks out or assists in knocking out a Pokemon on the opposing team, that Pokemon will drop more Aeos energy than it normally would.

Movesets

Icon	Attack	Type	Cooldown	Damage		Description	Notes
				Starting	Final
	Standard Attack	N/A				If Basic attacks are performed consecutively within a set time, the effects of the 2nd and subsequent Basic attack stages will change as described below. (When the Pokémon is using a move, this set time is extended) Stage 2: The user deals damage to enemies and decreases their movement speed. Stage 3: The user deals damage to enemies while restoring its own HP. Stage 4: The user quickly draws near an opposing Pokémon and deals damage to it. All of the user's move cooldowns are reduced.
Level 1 - Level 2 The following moves can be learned at Level 1 and Level 3, in any order.
	Slash	Sure Hit	7.5 seconds	612 >> 796	753 >> 979	Has the user deal damage to an opposing Pokémon and deal a small amount of damage to nearby opposing Pokémon. When this move is boosted with Aeos Energy, its area of effect is increased, it deals increased damage, and it also decreases opposing Pokémon's movement speed for a short time.
	Quick Attack	Dash	9 seconds	256 >> 295	363 >> 418	Has the user charge in the designated direction, stop in place when it hits an opposing Pokémon, and deal damage to it. When this move is Boosted with Aeos energy, it also leaves opposing Pokémon unable to act for a short time.
Level 5 One of the following moves can be learned at Level 5 to replace Slash.
Met	Metal Claw	Dash	8.5 seconds	812 >> 1624	2184 >> 3928	Has the user release a shock wave in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits and decreasing their movement speed. As the shock wave moves forward, it negates projectile attacks from opposing Pokemon it hits. After releasing the shock wave, the user also charges and deals damage to opposing Pokemon. If this charge hits an opposing Pokemon, the user's basic attack speed is increased for a short time. When this move is boosted with Aeos energy, the shock wave's size and travel distance are increased. Also, the movement speed of opposing Pokemon hit by the shock wave is further decreased. Upgrade (Level 11): Reduces this move's cooldown.
				1056 >> 2112	2106 >> 4212
	Sacred Sword	Area	8 seconds	302 >> 967	608 >> 1974	Has the user slash around itself as if drawing a circle with the tip of its sword, dealing damage to oppsing Pokemon in the area of effect and decreasing their movement speed. The user then unleashes a slashing attack inside the circle, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits and leaving them unable to act. After this move hits an opposing Pokemon, the user's Attack is increased for a short time and damage dealt by the user's moves and basic attacks partially ignores the opposing Pokemon's Defense. When this move is boosted with Aeos energy, its area of effect is increased, and the time until the slashing attack is unleashed is reduced. Upgrade (Level 11): Reduces the time until the slashing attack is unleashed.
				395 >> 1263	791 >> 2458
Level 7 One of the following moves can be learned at Level 7 to replace Quick Attack.
	Agility	Dash	9 seconds	N/A		Removes any hindrances applied to the user and greatly increases the user's movement speed. After a short time, the movement speed increase weakens and stays that way for a set amount of time. The effect duration is increased if the user is in combat with Pokemon from the opposing team. When this move is boosted with Aeos energy, the user's movement speed is further increased, and the user is also granted a shield. Upgrade (Level 13): Further increases movement speed.
	Play Rough	Dash	9 seconds	695 >> 905	1212 >> 1580	Has the user leap in the designated direction, dealing damage to an opposing Pokemon it hits and leaving it unable to act. For a short time after the user lands, the user takes reduced damage from the opposing Pokemon it dealt damage to. When this move is boosted with Aeos energy, the user leaps further and will no longer stop in place when hitting an opposing Pokemon, and all opposing Pokemon hit along the leap's path will receive damage and be left unable to act. Upgrade (Level 13): Increases the length of time opposing Pokemon are left unable to act.
Level 9 The Pokémon learns its Unite Move.
	Sovereign Sword	Area	111 seconds	2144 >> 3857	3268 >> 5878	Has the user ready its giant sword, charge the sword with Aeos energy, and then slash in front of itself. The user becomes immune to hindrances while the Unite Move button is held down and the user is in its ready stance. The longer the user is in this stance, the more Aeos energy is charged into the sword, the more damage this move deals. If a set amount of Aeos energy or more is charged into the sword, the Unite Move becomes boosted, and the slash's area of effect increases. This boosted Unite Move deals increased damage to opposing Pokemon it hits who have been buffed by their own Unite Move.
