[SET]
IronPress (Zamazenta) (HP) @ Leftovers
Ability: Dauntless Shield
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Fire
Jolly Nature
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Crunch
- Roar
Zamazenta employs a combination of high Speed, phenomenal stats, and solid movepool and Ability to thrive in the metagame. Iron Defense makes Zamazenta even more physically defensive while also enhancing Body Press, which enables Zamazenta to turn its defensive prowess into an offensive threat. Crunch hits the Ghost-types immune to Body Press. Lastly, Roar allows Zamazenta to force out opposing boosted Pokemon such as Dragon Dance Necrozma-DM as well as prevent opposing phazers like Whirlwind Ting-Lu and Skarmory from forcing itself out. Leftovers offers Zamazenta a source of reliable recovery, while Tera Fire grants a valuable immunity to burn and eases the matchup against foes such as Ho-Oh, Zacian-C, and Iron Moth.
Zamazenta doesn't require a huge HP donation due to its pre-existing Uber-caliber stats; however, it still appreciates a decent boost such as from Lunala and Eternatus to make it even bulkier. In return, Zamazenta is able to switch in on and threaten Pokemon like Weavile, Ting-Lu, and Iron Treads which can be annoying for the aforementioned gods to deal with. However, Zamazenta also prefers some support of its own, as despite having Crunch, it can struggle into opposing Ghost-types like Pecharunt and Sinistcha due to its relatively mediocre Attack. Thus, Dark- and Ghost-types like Roaring Moon, Lokix, and Arceus-Ghost are appreciated. Furthermore, although Fairy-types are not immune to Body Press, they resist all of Zamazenta's attacks, making Pokemon like Primarina, Clefable, and Arceus-Fairy extremely annoying. Clefable is especially troublesome, with Unaware ignoring the boosts from Iron Defense and Dauntless Shield. Thus, Poison- and Steel-types like Pecharunt, the aforementioned Eternatus, Necrozma-DM, and Tinkaton are welcome. The latter two are especially valuable, as they resist all of the moves that Zamazenta is weak to.
