Zamazenta-C sets itself apart from other Choice Band users with its useful STAB combination, powerful defensive profile, and surprise factor derived from it usually fulfilling a defensive role. Close Combat serves as Zamazenta-C's primary STAB move. Sunsteel Strike as a secondary STAB move is useful for breaking through the omnipresent Xerneas and muscling through Fur Coat users that resist its other options, like Lunala. Glacial Lance lets Zamazenta-C OHKO Zygarde-C and is also its best option against other threats like Eternatus, Groudon, and Ho-Oh. U-turn lets it maintain pressure on Pokemon that counter it. Fishious Rend provides a super effective option against Ho-Oh and Groudon in addition to solid neutral coverage.

Zamazenta-C fits best on offensive teams, which enjoy it maintaining offensive pressure as a wallbreaker and pivot while switching into opposing offensive threats. Zamazenta-C struggles to make its way past Ho-Oh and bulky Dragon-types like Zygarde-C and Giratina despite its coverage, so Palkia, Zekrom, and Diamond Storm Xerneas make for excellent partners. In turn. these Pokemon appreciate Zamazenta-C bringing them in with U-turn and dealing with faster threats like Kartana. The aforementioned Ho-Oh forms a solid defensive core with Zamazenta-C: Ho-Oh walls Xerneas and opposing Fire-types while Imposter-proofing Zamazenta-C, and Zamazenta-C handles Regigigas.

- i don't know if wicked blow is totally necessary (since you 2HKO fc lunala with tough claws), i'd probably say to slash it on the u-turn slot
- because CC is just a STAB move, i don't think the whole bit on "offering solid power" and after is necessary.
- if wicked blow is being slashed with u-turn, probably move the wicked sentence. wicked hits both fc solg and lun on regen sets, but only solg on TC sets, so making a note of this might be good.
- probably don't refer to it as a hard-switch, as despite the bulk zama-c hates getting hit by everything that isn't an attacking move. HO is pretty content with letting stuff die for momentum anyway.

-slash fishious rend on the last slot, in front of wicked blow. really good option against hooh and groudon and a decent mid-ground in many situations

-wouldn't use "unique" to describe fighting typing. maybe "uncommon", but i don't think you have to mention that fighting is a rare type. can just say that fighting/steel is a good stab pairing or something

-reword and expand the sentence on glacial lance, as is i think it undersells the potency of the move. glance is also zama's strongest option vs ho-oh, groudon, and eternatus and can ohko (not just 2hko) zygarde

-i get why you've specified that regen sets want wicked blow, but i dont think regenband zama ever wants to drop uturn, and i dont think the move is unviable on tough claws either. if glance and sunsteel are always on the set i'd consider cutting the mention of wicked blow entirely tbh, i dont know if it's worth running if you're running both of those moves

-zama-c fits best on offensive teams, but not necessarily hyper offense

-zama-c doesnt really "deal with" blacephalon, bc it cant switch into any variant of it and doesnt even beat it unless you have wicked blow.

cool stuff qc 2/2

U-turn lets it maintain pressure on Pokemon that would otherwise counter it. Fishious Rend provides a super effective (removed hyphen) option against Ho-Oh and Groudon and in addition to solid neutral coverage.
