Analysis
Zarude is a Grass/Dark Type Mythical Pokemon from the land of Galar. It's a fairly interesting Pokemon, but is it worth using in PvE? Well, yes and no. Its primary niche is as a Grass Type attacker, which puts it on a par with some of the "good" Shadow Grass Type Pokemon, even going so far as to surpass every non-Shadow/Mega Grass Type to date. The lack of strong Grass Types in general means that it can be a solid pick to shore up any Grass Type holes, though it's not a must have Pokemon in this niche.

As a Dark Type, it's basically Tyranitar with a different sub-type; usable, but not outstanding. It can be useful for newer players that want to take advantage of its potential role-compression, but it's not good for players that have already been working on their Dark/Ghost teams for a while.
Offense
- Vine Whip and Power Whip provide maximum power and utility for Zarude, making it one of the best choices for Grass-type damage in raids.
- Bite and Dark Pulse make Zarude a usable Dark Type attacker
- Energy Ball is plainly inferior.
