Physical Sweeper Zigzagoon (Quick Feet)
Zigzagoon is an awesome Physical Sweeper. It's goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Zigzagoon is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield until Eviolite was equipped. If Eviolite is held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, it will raises the Defense and Special Defense of that Pokemon by 50%. Focus Sash helps protect Zigzagoon from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Flame Orb will burn Zigzagoon at the end of the turn which will activate Zigzagoon's Quick Feet ability. Use Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. With Quick Feet, if Zigzagoon is statused its speed is 1.5x; ignores speed drop from paralysis. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Quick Feet to seriously give Zigzagoon a sweet boost.
