[SET COMMENTS]

When equipped with a Choice Band, Zamazenta becomes one of the strongest wallbreakers in the metagame, thanks to its amazing Speed, great Attack, and solid defensive capabilities. There's only a limited pool of Pokemon that can switch into Zamazenta's Close Combat safely, such as Gholdengo, Hex Dragapult, and Skeledirge, all of which falter to Crunch. Wild Charge deals massive damage to Toxapex, Tornadus-T, and Slowbro while Ice Fang hits Landorus-T. Tera Fighting propels Zamazenta's Close Combat to nearly unstoppable levels, letting it 2HKO on a large variety of Pokemon, including Fighting-resistant Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Mega Latias. Zamazenta appreciates pivot support, as even if it's bulky enough to switch into neutral or resisted moves, it doesn't like being chipped. Therefore, Pokemon like Landorus-T, Dragapult, and Mega Scizor make good partners. It also really appreciates Future Sight support from Tapu Lele and Slowbro, as it helps it beat its most common switch-ins, such as Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Buzzwole. Entry hazard support helps Zamazenta against Gholdengo and the aforementioned Toxapex, so Pokemon like Ting-Lu, Garchomp, and Toxapex are valuable teammates.

[SET COMMENTS]

Howl Zamazenta is a stupendous sweeper; thanks to its stellar bulk—improved by Dauntless Shield—and high Speed, it can set up multiples Howls and becomes near unstoppable once boosted. It also takes advantage of the many switches it forces with the threat of other sets and is ensured to setup at least one Howl without taking damage. Wild Charge, combined with an Electrium Z, gives Zamazenta a nuke to use against common switch-ins, such as Toxapex, Tera Water Skeledirge, and Tornadus-T. Ice Fang hits Landorus-T, while Crunch Ghost-types such as Gholdengo and Dragapult. This set, while scary, still possesses a pool of Pokemon capable of completely stopping it from making progress, such as Skeledirge, Unaware Clefable, and Dondozo. Therefore, Pokemon that can pressure them such as Mega Charizard Y, Heatran, and Tapu Lele are great teammates. Pursuit support from Kingambit, Weavile, and Tyranitar helps Zamazenta by removing Ghost-types like Gholdengo and Dragapult that can take a hit from it if Crunch isn't used. Knock Off from Ferrothorn, Tornadus-T, and the aforementioned Weavile cripples all of Zamazenta's checks, as they all dislike losing their items.

[SET COMMENTS]

Body Press lets Zamazenta become an extremely strong sweeper, being hard to remove after a couple of Iron Defenses due to its already amazing bulk. Crunch hits Ghost-types such as Dragapult and Gholdengo. Rest cures its status while healing it; Sleep Talk can be used alongside it as a way to stack Defense boosts faster and be less passive, but it's very unreliable. The combination of Protect and Substitute allows Zamazenta to reliably beat Tornadus-T and Zapdos, taking advantage of Hurricane's lack of accuracy. Tera Water helps against rain, as almost all rain sweepers are physical attackers, like Floatzel and Mega Swampert. This lets Zamazenta use them as setup fodder. It is especially effective when paired with Protect and Substitute, as it can easily waste rain turns. While very threatening, this set tends to struggle against walls such as Skeledirge, Dondozo, and Clefable, so Pokemon that pressure them such as Mega Charizard Y, Tapu Lele, (ac) and Heatran are great partners. If not using Crunch, Pursuit support from Kingambit and Weavile should be used to remove Ghost-types that Zamazenta can't touch. Since this set struggles against Flying-types such as Tornadus-T and Zapdos, Knock Off support from Kartana and the aforementioned Kingambit helps in dealing with them.

Crunch hits Ghost-types, such as Gholdengo, Dragapult, and Skeledirge that are immune to its strong STAB. Wild Charge deals massive damages to Toxapex, Tapu Fini, and Dondozo i would prob mention other mons like tornadus-t or slowbro since those two arent really good rn ,while Ice Fang hits Landorus-T. Finally Alternatively, Psychic Fangs helps deal with Pokemon like Buzzwole and Great Tusk / and Iron Hands. mention others mons like iron hands or great tusk.

Howl Zamazenta is a scary stupendous sweeper. removed period Thanks thanks to its stellar bulk improved by Dauntless Shield and high Speed, it can set up multiples Howls and becomes near unstoppable once boosted. Wild Charge, combined with the Z Crystal, gives Zamazenta a nuke button to use against common switch-ins, such as Toxapex and Tapu Fini use a more viable example methinks. Ice Fang hits Landorus-T, Crunch hits Ghost-types such as Gholdengo and Dragapult, and Psychic Fangs hits Buzzwole and Clodsire. This set, while scary, possesses a limited pool of Pokemon capable of completely stopping it from making progress, such as Skeledirge, Unaware Clefable, and Dondozo use better examples THESE MONS DO NOTHING!!. Therefore, Pokemon that can pressure them such as Mega Charizard Y, Heatran, and Tapu Lele are great teammates. if u change the sentence that contains mons that stop zama change the mons here depending on which ones you slot Pursuit support from Kingambit, Weavile, and Tyranitar helps Zamazenta by removing Ghost-types that can struggle a hit from it if Crunch isn't used mention those ghost types here. Knock Off from Ferrothorn, Tornadus-T, and the aforementioned Weavile cripples all of Zamazenta's checks, such as X and X elaborate on said checks. Finally, Zamazenta enjoys Entry Hazards hazard support from Pokemon likes Garchomp, Ferrothorn and Ting-Lu, as it helps weakening Dondozo and knocked Unaware Clefable. you will be using hazards regardless; sounds like fluff

Zamazenta's new access i wouldnt put much empahsis on generational buffs; reword this to Body Press allows it to become an extremely strong sweeper, as it's even harder to remove after a couple of Iron Defense due to its already amazing bulk. Crunch hits Ghost-types immune to Body Press like Gholdengo and Dragapult, Iron Defense propels Zamazenta's physical bulk to absurd levels, making it impossible to remove on that aspect, and Rest cures its status while healing it. Sleep Talk can be used as a way to stack faster defense boosts and be less passive, but it's very unreliable. The combination of Protect and Substitute combination allows Zamazenta to reliably beat Tornadus-T and Zapdos, abusing Hurricane's lack of accuracy, and allows you to culminate more recovery from Leftovers. Water helps against Rain, as almost all Rain sweepers are Physical Attacker physical attackers, such as Mega Swampert and Barraskewda. It is especially effective when paired with Protect and Substitute, as you can easily waste Rain turns. While very threatening, this set tend to struggle against Unaware walls such as Skeledirge, Dondozo, and Clefable please...find more viable examples, so Pokemon that pressure them such as Mega Charizard Y, Tapu Lele and Heatran are great partners. If not using Crunch, Knock Off and Pursuit support from Kingambit and Weavile removes Ghost-types that Zamazenta can't touch such as Gholdengo and Skeledirge.. Since this set struggles against Flying-types, Knock Off support from Kartana and the aforementioned Kingambit helps dealing with them. use something else that helps zama in the long run as this is mentioned above already
