Last time, we observed the Unfezant line, and how it will likely perform. But now it is time we descend from the sky and explore the plains of Unova. Here's what Blitzle and Zebstrika are expected to be like in Pokémon GO.

BLITZLE

• CATEGORY: Electrified Pokémon
• PRONOUNCED: BLIT-zul
• TYPE: Electric
• HEIGHT: 2' 07"
• WEIGHT: 65.7 lbs.

ATTACK:  118

DEFENSE:  64

STAMINA:  128

MAX  CP:  882

---

ZEBSTRIKA

• CATEGORY: Thunderbolt Pokémon
• PRONOUNCED: zehb-STRY-kuh
• TYPE: Electric
• HEIGHT: 5' 03"
• WEIGHT: 175.3 lbs.

ATTACK:  211

DEFENSE:  136

STAMINA:  181

MAX  CP:  2428

PLACE IN THE META: Zebstrika is no Raikou or Electivire when looking at its stats, but that does not mean it will be completely unusable. Zebstrika's stats are not outstanding, but they should be good enough to allow it to compete in the Great League. It definitely won't be an outstanding Raider or Gym attacker, though, especially with Zekrom and Thundurus adding extra competition.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Zebstrika:

• Quick Attack
• Spark

​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Zebstrika:

• Stomp
• Thunderbolt
• Wild Charge

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Zebstrika's movepool:

• Giga Impact

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Zebstrika gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.

Thanks for reading, Trainers! The Gigalith line is up next.
