Team pitfalls when building around Zacian

• Do not stack too many teammates that are also weak to poison and steel.
• Sweepers usually need defensive pivots or status support so they can enter safely.
• Defensive Pokemon still need offensive partners; avoid building a team that cannot pressure key types.
• Check whether legendary or mythical Pokemon are allowed in your game rules or competitive format.
