Zeraora, like lightning, can close the gap between itself and its opponents in the blink of an eye and deal massive amounts of damage all at once. Plasma Gale, its Unite Move, fires a powerful electric blast that creates a plasma zone around the area where the blast lands.

They must defeat their opponents’ Pokémon while attempting to earn more points than the opposing team within the time limit.
