- Body Press
- Behemoth Bash / Heavy Slam
- Wide Guard
- Protect
[SET COMMENTS]
- With its incredible bulk, high damage, and good Speed, Zamazenta-C can be a very powerful threat to many teams. It can do great damage with Body Press and protect its allies well from Pokemon such as Calyrex-S, Chi-Yu, Miraidon, Kyogre and Terapagos-S with Wide Guard. It can also wall common threats such as Chien-Pao, Rillaboom, and Ogerpon-C.
- Behemoth Bash is a consistent damage choice for Zamazenta-C, as it can do good damage to Calyrex-I and Tera Fairy Miraidon and Raging Bolt. Heavy Slam does more damage against the general metagame but doesn't do much to the aforementioned Pokemon.
- The EV spread allows it to outspeed maximum speed Landorus. It also lets Zamazenta-C live Close Combat from Life Orb Koraidon.
- Tera Dragon switches all of Zamazenta-C's weaknesses to neutralities or resistances, and the added resistsances can be very useful against the likes of Koraidon, Miraidon, Urshifu-R, and Kyogre.
Teambuilding
- Zamazenta-C can struggle with Koraidon, which can do massive damage to it. Electric Seed Lunala sets can wall Zamazenta-C and do respectable damage with Moongeist Beam. Ho-Oh resists both of Zamazenta-C's STAB moves, can do good damage and burn it with Sacred Fire, and sets up Tailwind. Amoonguss can also cause Zamazenta-C trouble, since Amoonguss doesn't take much damage from it and can threaten back with Spore or redirect Zamazenta-C's attacks. Landorus can OHKO Zamazenta-C with Earth Power if it has Life Orb or outspeed it and do massive damage with Choice Scarf while resisting Body Press. Volcarona can also check Zamazenta-C incredibly well by resisting both of its STAB moves and having a chance to burn Zamazenta-C, heavily reducing its offensive capabilities.
- Calyrex-S is the most common Restricted Pokemon pairing with Zamazenta-C. Together, they have amazing coverage, and Zamazenta-C can protect it from opposing Calyrex-S's Astral Barrage with Wide Guard. Calyrex-S also deals with Koraidon and Amoonguss with Psychic. Miraidon can also be a strong partner for Zamazenta-C by doing incredible damage to a ton of its checks, such as Ho-Oh, Koraidon, and Amoonguss, and taking advantage of its defensive capabilities, with Zamazenta-C being a good partner to pivot to with Volt Switch. Chien-Pao works really well with Zamazenta-C, since it boosts Body Press's damage, allowing Zamazenta-C to OHKO Pokemon like Terapagos-S and Incineroar, and deals well with most of its checks, hitting Koraidon, Lunala, Amoonguss, and Landorus hard. Another common partner is Rillaboom, setting its Terrain to give Zamazenta-C even more survivability with its healing and allow it to survive Choice Specs Electro Drift from Miraidon.
