Appearance

Zebstrika is a zebra-like Pokémon, as the name suggests. It has a black body with white lighting shaped stripes all over its body. Its mane is spiked and runs all the way from its forehead to its tail. Its tail ends in a starburst shape and the inside of Zebstrika’s ears are blue, while its eyes are blue and yellow.

Behavior

Zebstrika is known for its ill temper and when it is angry, it blasts strong bolts of lightning from its mane in all directions and runs wild. When it runs at full speed, its hooves hitting the ground make the sound of thunder, hence its nickname “The Thunderbolt Pokémon”.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Zebstrika is weak to Ground-type Pokémon and takes twice as much damage as normal when fighting them. It is not immune to any type but is resistant to Flying, Steel, and Electric types, taking only half of the normal amount of damage. Zebstrika is damaged normally by Normal, Fighting, Poison, Rock, Bug, Ghost, Fire, Water, Grass, Psychic, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy-type Pokémon.

Best moveset

Zebstrika has a lot of strong moves, including Thrash, which is a move that has 120 power and 100% accuracy. Here are Zabstrika’s best moves. Thrash lasts 2-3 turns but confuses the user afterwards, Double-Edge has a 33% recoil and Overheat has 130 power and 90% accuracy, but lowers the user’s special attack by 2. Finally, Hyper Beam has 150% power and 90% accuracy, but the user cannot move on the next turn.
