Before I say was I was going to, I gotta take a little bit of credit for the rise of Tera Dark D-speed. I've been pushing it since way before it fell to UU usage. I'm glad the community finally caught on.
The rise in Glimm and Zama also makes a lot of sense since they are so good at matchups. Glimm is not the biggest 1 V 1 mon, but it makes team matchups against a lot of things much better. Zamazenta is really important as a physical backbone that isn't passive or defensive. Checking physical threats is arguably more important in this meta due to the sheer quantity of them.
Anyways, the original point of my post is that I have tried Psychic Seed Zamazenta with Roar. It's quite good at preventing opposing sweepers and stopping most BE speed mons. Particularly, worrying about opposing sweeps isn't quite as much of an issue on the special side since the Volc ban. So I primarily worry about special attackers from a wall breaking perspective on the builder. This is a bit of an oversimplification, but I have found this mindset to be mostly successful so far. Even something like Kyurem, that can surprise you with a DD, would then be physical and also hit super effectively by Body Press anyways.
What I am still figuring out is how I want to built PT teams. The current 6 with Zama in that last slot is probably better than I had built it before with any other combo. However, I am still not sure if it is the right 6. I do think that regardless of my decision with this team, Psychic Seed Zama is really good and could be put on teams fairly easily. I noticed right away how much better it was than my Psychic Seed Gouging Fire experiment. It also improves my Roaring Moon matchup quite a bit despite needing to be wary of Tera Flying Acrobatics.
Do I think Zama is OP? No. Body Press is a fairly easy thing to game plan since you need to account for Fighting moves anyways. It's a bit like having to prep for Gambit's Sucker Punch, although I wouldn't say Zama is on the level of Gambit. Zama is also easier to deal with once forced out the first time. Most teams that aren't purely offensive have a lot of investment in physical defense. We have a whole boosted tier that can outrun it, Meanwhile, Pult and D-speed outrun it unboosted and give it some problems. Zama hates getting status effects like Poison or Burn. There is just a lot of counterplay to it.
