[SET COMMENTS]
Hustle is Zweilous' most significant trait, giving a massive power boost to its physical attacks. Crunch is a powerful STAB move that nails common physical walls such as Galarian Corsola and Hattrem. Substitute is set up when Zweilous forces the opponent to switch out, even though it is broken by common Pokemon such as Tangela, Vullaby, and Galarian Corsola. Body Slam hits opponents that resist Dark-type moves such as Clefairy, Vullaby, and Morgrem. Zen Headbutt hits Fighting-types such as Gurrdurr and Machoke and while also hitting Mareanie super effectively. Protect allows Zweilous to scout the opponent's move and get more Leftovers recovery which helps against Night Shade Galarian Corsola. The EV spread outspeeds uninvested walls such as Vullaby, Roselia, and Tangela.

Zweilous requires good partners to work properly. First of all, because it has no Eviolite and mediocre Speed, many Pokemon such as Raboot, Piloswine, and Electabuzz can revenge kill it easily. Thus, it needs teammates such as Galarian Corsola that can sponge hits from these aforementioned threats. Clefairy is a notable check, as it avoids the 2HKO from any of Zweilous's moves and can OHKO back with Moonblast; Roselia and Ferroseed can check Clefairy and also provide Spikes support. Ferroseed also has Knock Off, which helps weaken potential Zweilous checks such as Gurdurr and Clefairy. Fighting-types such as Gurdurr and Machoke can remove items from checks such as Galarian Corsola and Clefairy, weakening them and allowing Zweilous to break through them more easily. VoltTurn cores such as Electabuzz and Thwackey can sometimes bring Zweilous against Roselia and allowing Zweilous to set Substitute as they are forced out.

Hustle is Zweilous' most significant trait, giving a massive power boost to its physical attacks. Zweilous has acces to Crunch as a Dark-type STAB move which is supereffective for some against common physical walls in the tier such as Galarian Corsola and Hattrem. Other physical walls such as Tangela still take a lot of damage after their Evioliand cannot counter Zweilous as its movepool cannot even break a Zweilous' Substitute. not always true since sludge bomb breaks sub Substitute works properly in this set that runs Leftovers as it allows Zweilous' Substitute to take some hits from Tangela's moves Grass-type STABs and Vullaby's Knock Off. However, Substitute falls down to is broken by Galarian Corsola's Night Shade. Zweilous runs Body Slam to hit opponents that resist Dark-type moves such as Clefairy, Vullaby, and Morgrem. Finally, the last move is between Zen Headbutt to hit Fighting-types which also resist that resist Crunch such as Gurrdurr and Machoke and it while also hitting Mareanie super-effectively. Protect brings more longevity as it allows Zweilous to scout the opponent's move and get more Leftovers recovery which will be useful for future Substitutes. The EV spread and nature are meant to maximize physical attack and bulk but at the same time while also outspeeding most of the walls not running speed investment such as Vullaby, Roselia, and Tangela.

Zweilous requires good partners to work properly. First of all, because it has no Eviolite and its Speed is not high, many Pokémon such as Raboot, Piloswine, and Electabuzz can revenge kill it easily. Thus, it needs some teammates such as Galarian Corsola that can sponge some hits of these aforementioned Pokémon. Even though it runs Body Slam to hit Clefairy, this is not even a 2HKO so Clefairy can tank some hits and threaten it with Moonblast. Roselia and Ferroseed can help with this and, at the same time, bring support with Spikes which will be useful to wear down foes which will Zweilous to pick some KOs so Zweilous can 2HKO them. Ferroseed can also spread also has Knock Off which will be also useful as Eviolite-less Pokémon are much weaker and prone to fall down against Zweilous helps wear down potential Zweilous checks such as Gurdurr and Clefairy. Fighting-type Pokémon such as Gurdurr and Machoke can Knock Off opponents that are also check to Zweilous such as Galarian Corsola and Clefairy, weakening them and allowing Zweilous to break through them easier. Volt-Turn cores such as Electabuzz and Thwackey can sometimes bring Zweilous against Roselia and Tangela which then Zweilous can Substitute in front of them. Finally, Zweilous can also be used as a special defense wall with Rest-Talk sets and Eviolite. Zweilous can also be run with Choice Band to abuse its raw power and Hustle, although being locked in Outrage can put them in a bad position against Clefairy or fast teams.

Substitute works properly in this set that runs Leftovers as it allows Zweilous' Substitute to take some hits from Tangela's Grass-type STABs and Vullaby's Knock Off vullaby and tang can both break sub - leftovers is used because zwei is primarily switching into duosion and gorsola which cannot meaningfully hurt zwei outside of night shade, so leftovers becomes better for longevity. However, Substitute is broken by Galarian Corsola's Night Shade. Zweilous runs Body Slam to hit opponents that resist Dark-type moves such as Clefairy, Vullaby, and Morgrem. Finally, the last move is between Zen Headbutt to hit Fighting-types that resist Crunch such as Gurrdurr and Machoke and while also hitting Mareanie supereffectively. Protect brings more longevity as it allows Zweilous to scout the opponent's move and get more Leftovers.
