[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Band Zamazenta is an extremely strong wallbreaker thanks to its wide coverage and elite Speed tier, beating out Chien-Pao and Iron Bundle. Crunch hits Fighting-resistant foes like Mewtwo, Arceus-Psychic, and Gholdengo. Stone Edge allows Zamazenta to beat Zapdos, as well as decimate Moltres. Heavy Slam is helpful versus Clefable and Tera Fairy Pokemon like Alomomola, but Iron Head can be used as a more consistent coverage move, allowing Zamazenta to hit heavier foes like Tera Fairy Arceus for meaningful damage. Alternatively, Psychic Fangs allows Zamazenta to hit Arceus-Poison super effectively, as well as Pecharunt for more damage. Tera Fighting boosts Close Combat to insane levels, cleanly 2HKOing Mewtwo. Tera Dark bolsters Crunch and can help versus Psychic-types like Deoxys and Arceus-Psychic. Tera Steel gives Zamazenta a nice defensive typing and boosts either Heavy Slam or Iron Head.

Zamazenta best fits on compositions with teammates that can help bring it in. Corviknight is an excellent partner, being able to remove hazards with Defog and bring it in safely with U-turn. Additionally, Corviknight is a solid switch-in versus Deoxys, one of the few Pokemon faster than Zamazenta. Great Tusk also is a great teammate, as it can remove hazards with Rapid Spin and check Arceus-Poison, a Pokemon Zamazenta often invites in when using Close Combat. Having entry hazards makes Zamazenta's wallbreaking powers much more potent, so hazard setters like the aforementioned Great Tusk, as well as Garchomp and Magearna, are greatly appreciated.

Tera Fighting boots Close Combat to insane levels, being able to cleanly 2HKO Mewtwo. Tera Dark helps to bolster Crunch, and can help versus Psychic-types like Deoxys and Arceus-Psychic. Tera Steel gives a nice defensive typing, as well as boosting either Heavy Slam or Iron Head.

Zamazenta best fits on squads with teammates that can help bring it in. ("Squads" is probably too informal of a term to use in an analysis, but I do respect not wanting to say "team" and "teammates" so closely together.) Corviknight is an excellent partner for Zamazenta, being able to remove hazards (with Defog) and bring it in safely (with U-turn). Additionally, Corviknight is a solid switch-in versus Deoxys, one of the few mons faster than Zamazenta. Having entry hazards makes Zamazenta's wallbreaking powers much more potent, so having hazard setters like Garchomp and Magearna is greatly appreciated. Great Tusk also is a great teammate, being able to remove hazards with Rapid Spin, as well as providing a check for Arceus-Poison, a Pokemon Zamazenta often invites in when clicking Close Combat.
