Is Zeraora good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Zepto Turn on Mega Zeraora ex (Pitch Black), doing 150 for 3 Energy. For the best value, Thunderous Fist on Mega Zeraora ex does 60× for just 1 Energy. The bulkiest version is Mega Zeraora ex with 270 HP, but it gives up 3 Prize cards when Knocked Out. Watch out for Fighting attackers — that's its weakness.
