Electricity sparks from the pads on its limbs. Wherever Zeraora runs, lightning flashes and thunder echoes.
Shield
It runs as fast as lightning strikes, shredding its opponents with its high-voltage claws.
Sword
It approaches its enemies at the speed of lightning, then tears them limb from limb with its sharp claws.
Ultra Moon
It electrifies its claws and tears its opponents apart with them. Even if they dodge its attack, they’ll be electrocuted by the flying sparks.
