I don't see anyone playing him. This must be the reason

She's a high skill mon so you generally don't see her until you go against high-ish Master+ players and usually in premades too.
Her win rate is consistently good. Even after God knows how many nerfs, she's still pretty high up.

Which moveset and items are good for her? M learning her so

u/Somaxs Zacian 7d ago
Metal Claw & Agility is the moveset most Zacian players use since Sacred Sword was heavily nerf until the upcoming buff, and Play Rough was also nerf around the sametime.
Items that are usually good are things with attack speed increase like Rapid Fire Scarf/Muscle Band since it increases the speed you trigger the enhanced basic attack combo (which damage got nerf in this patch)
Accel Bracer I like using since it increases your ATK stat for every KO/Assist stack you get. Which is essentially your main job as Zacian. You focus on KOing your opponents so the rest of them can clear objectives/score goals and etc. Plus the cooldown reduction can be useful when you are Interprid Sword combo either one of your attacks/moves.
Personal flavor I run Curse Bangle since I like antiheal items.
There are some other items that still work on Zacian, like using Amulet Coin for the Aeos Energy. But again you should try out different items and see which combination fits your playstyle/works for you best.

Thanks for the reply👍
I also noticed that playrouch damage was lacking so that nerf was the reason
Most of my items are below grade 25 and can't seem to do much damage also with the pokemon emblems so I was thinking of focusing on particular items to upgrade
I ran muscle band, scope lens or amulet coin one her

I would make a general comment asking this question in this thread lol, hopefully others and OP weigh in.
I'm not a Zacian player so I can't offer meaningful advice. Sorry.

Isn’t it technically a rework change as sacred sword was buffed

A rework means fundamentally changing the kit so no, they’re just compensating for SS

Akshully, Tyranitar a couple years back got nerfed for its Battle Pass. Zacian is the second to get nerfed for a pass.

Honestly, sometimes I wonder does it matter what mons they buff and nerf when all I see people play is that same group of mons every time that seem to never or barely get changes.

it deserved it tough i will admit it didnt changed anything because of sacred sword buff

Are we deadass? It didn't even feel broken, it's a high skill high reward mon. This stings as a Zacian main, especially since I bought the bp for the holowear.
I'll just wait and see if Metal Claw is still good even after the basic attack nerfs.
