Verdict
Situational
Zekrom is a solid but not elite Electric-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#15) in raid performance. With a max CP of 4,565 and base stats of 275/211/205, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Electric-type counters. The best moveset is Charge Beam paired with Fusion Bolt. Consider investing if you need a Electric-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
