Zhang Cheng planned to send Zeraora out to battle Keldeo.
To catch a proud Mythical Pokémon, he would have to defeat it one-on-one first. Only then would he have a chance of success.
If a Trainer had their Pokémon gang up on it, they would never earn its recognition, even if they defeated it, making it impossible to catch.
Against the Water-type Keldeo, sending out the Electric-type Zeraora was naturally the best choice.
Hearing its Trainer's words, Zeraora nodded firmly, signaling that it was ready.
With a leap, Zeraora swiftly landed beside Keldeo, powerful electric currents coursing over its body.
Keldeo's expression instantly turned cold as Zeraora approached, and it began gathering large amounts of Fighting-type energy.
As a Mythical Pokémon, Keldeo was highly intelligent. Seeing that Zeraora was an Electric-type Pokémon, it decisively chose a Fighting-type move rather than the Water-type moves it excelled at.

Zhang Cheng had little to consider here. Naturally, he would use Electric-type moves to exploit Keldeo's weakness.
In battle, Zeraora always opened with Plasma Fists. Not only was the move powerful, but it also turned subsequent Normal-type moves into Electric-type moves.
