Autotomize Celesteela is a great offensive partner for Banded Zygarde. Zygarde can break Celesteela's common checks in Heatran, Magearna and Zapdos and aid an Autotomize sweep. On the other hand, Celesteela can overwhelm Zygarde's common checks in defensive Landorus, Mega Scizor, Ferrothorn and Tangrowth.

In terms of type synergy, Zygarde is a decent fire resist for Celesteela to fall back on whilst Celesteela can be a much needed pivot into psychics and fairies like Lele if Zygarde requires.
The set aims to maximise power, outspeed Ash Greninja after set-up and the rest in bulk.
