[SET COMMENTS]
IronPress Zamazenta serves as a deadly wincon that provides great defensive utility, leveraging its excellent bulk and useful Dark resistance to switch into dangerous threats like Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Roaring Moon and use these opportunities to set up or wallbreak. Stone Edge threatens Flying-types like Zapdos and Moltres and is Zamazenta's strongest move against Fluffy Landorus-T, while Crunch hits Ghost-types like Pecharunt, Gholdengo, and Sinistcha. The given Attack EVs allow Stone Edge to OHKO Moltres without Expert Belt. With Expert Belt, Crunch 2HKOes physically defensive Gholdengo after minimal chip damage and has near-guaranteed odds of 3HKOing non-Intimidate Pecharunt; this item also allows Stone Edge to OHKO offensive Zapdos. The remaining EVs are invested into Defense to power up Body Press and let Zamazenta answer physical threats better.

IronPress Zamazenta best fits on both balance and offensive teams that appreciate its defensive utility and potency as a wincon. Offensive Pokemon such as Roaring Moon, Zapdos, and Gholdengo that can lure in setup fodder like Great Tusk, Roaring Moon, Kingambit, and Swampert for Zamazenta pair well with it. Bulky Fighting-resistant foes unafraid of Zamazenta's coverage like Pecharunt, Primarina, and defensive Landorus-I are its biggest roadblocks; thus, teammates that can deal with them such as Roaring Moon, Kingambit, and Latios pair well with it. Kingambit is an especially notable partner, as it complements Zamazenta both offensively and defensively extremely well, with Kingambit switching into and threatening the Ghost- and Psychic-types Zamazenta detests, while Zamazenta deals with Kingambit's checks like Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Body Press Corviknight. Zamazenta is forced out by threats that can either outspeed and threaten it or survive a hit and attack in return like Latios, Deoxys-S, and Scream Tail; thus, teammates that can deal with them like Iron Treads, Swampert, and Manaphy are greatly appreciated.

IronPress Zamazenta serves as a deadly wincon that provides great defensive utility to its team, leveraging its high bulk and typing to switch into dangerous threats like Chien-Pao, crash is a bit too strong Kingambit, and Roaring Moon, using these opportunities to set up and potentially steal a game. Stone Edge 2HKOes Zapdos, Iron Moth, and Moltres and OHKOes Volcarona, Crunch chips Pecharunt, and Roar allows it to repeatedly phase out its counters like Pecharunt and Moltres. Substitute allows it to evade status like Burns from Moltres and Poison from Toxapex Iron Moth not real and Pecharunt, while allowing Zamazenta to stall Pecharunt's Malignant Chain's PP, while Heavy Slam 2HKOes Scream Tail. 252 Defense EVs can be opted for over 252 HP EVs for more power on Body Press at the cost of lower bulk specially. mention that the HP spread lets zama usually keep its sub up after a malignant chain, which max def spread cant do

IronPress Zamazenta best fits on offensive teams who are in need of a teammate that provides great defensive utility. As such, offensive teammates that can lure in setup fodder for Zamazenta like Great Tusk, Roaring Moon, and Swampert pair well with it, making Roaring Moon, Zapdos, and Azelf great teammates. Pecharunt and Primarina mention mana here too cause it can chip zama down with alluring voice while threatening confusion if it tries to setup are Zamazenta's biggest roadblocks; thus, teammates who can deal with them pair well with Zamazenta, making Magic Guard Roaring Moon, Kingambit, and Sandy Shocks good teammates. Zamazenta is forced out by faster threats that can threaten it, like Deoxys-S, Choice Scarf Azelf, and Latios, especially Choice Scarf Scream Tail, which can hit it behind Substitute; thus, teammates who can deal with them like RegenVest Roaring Moon, Swampert, and Manaphy are greatly appreciated. Zamazenta suffers greatly from 4-moveslot syndrome, so teammates who can deal with Zapdos if not using Stone Edge and Scream Tail if not using Heavy Slam pair well with it, making RegenVest Roaring Moon, Swampert, and Heatran good partners.

IronPress Zamazenta serves as a deadly wincon that provides great defensive utility to its team, leveraging its high bulk and typing I'd probably change 'typing' to 'Dark-type resistance' or such to switch into dangerous threats like Chien-Pao, (AC) Kingambit, (AC) and Roaring Moon, using these opportunities to set up and potentially steal a game or wallbreak this set is still good at breaking walls so definitely mention that. Stone Edge threatens Flying-types like Zapdos and Moltres, (AC) and is Zamazenta's strongest move into Fluffy Landorus-T, (AC) while Crunch allows Zamazenta to meaningfully damage hits Ghost-types like Pecharunt, Gholdengo, and Sinistcha. The given Attack EVs allow Stone Edge to OHKO Moltres without Expert Belt while allowing Crunch to 2HKO Physically Defensive Gholdengo after Stealth Rock chip, have near-guaranteed odds of 3HKOing Pecharunt, and allowing Stone Edge to OHKO offensive Zapdos and Ceruledge, with the remaining EVs invested into Defense to power up Body Press and answer physical threats better. Move the held item stuff to before spread, and make the distinction of what you're referring to clearer.

IronPress Zamazenta best fits on offensive teams who are in need of a teammate that provides great defensive utility that appreciate its defensive utility and potency as a win condition. As such, offensive teammates that can lure in setup fodder for Zamazenta like Great Tusk, Roaring Moon, and Swampert pair well with it, making Roaring Moon, Zapdos, and Azelf great teammates. Azelf bad and I think Gholdengo is 100% worth a mention, also mention Kingambit as an opportunity Pecharunt, Primarina, and Physically Defensive Manaphy is physdef manaphy really a bigger roadblock than Gholdengo, Lando, and defensive Zappy? are Zamazenta's biggest roadblocks; thus, teammates who can deal with them pair well with Zamazenta, making Magic Guard Roaring Moon, Kingambit, and Sandy Shocks Shocks??? mention something better like Latios or Iron Moth good teammates. Zamazenta is forced out by threats that can either outspeed and threaten it or live a hit and attack in return like Deoxys-S, Choice Scarf Azelf, and Choice Scarf Scream Tail; replace Azzy with Lati and put it before Deo thus, teammates who can deal with them like RegenVest Roaring Moon, Swampert, and Manaphy are greatly appreciated. Not sure where I'd work it in but I'd give special mention to Kingambit because it has near-perfect offensive and defensive synergy.

IronPress Zamazenta serves as a deadly wincon that provides great defensive utility, leveraging its high personally I think 'high' is a bit of an understatement considering it lives pretty much any neutral hit that isn't both a damage amp ability and a booting item (only exception I can think of is Overheat Moth) bulk and useful Dark-type resistance to switch into dangerous threats like Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Roaring Moon, using these opportunities to set up or wallbreak. Stone Edge threatens Flying-types like Zapdos and Moltres, and is Zamazenta's strongest move into Fluffy Landorus-T, while Crunch hits Ghost-types like Pecharunt, Gholdengo, and Sinistcha. The given Attack EVs allow Stone Edge to OHKO Moltres without Expert Belt. weird way to cut off the sentence, but that's GP's jurisdiction With Expert Belt, Crunch to 2HKOes Physically Defensive Gholdengo after Stealth Rock minimal chip, have near-guaranteed odds of 3HKOing non-Intimidate Pecharunt, and allows Stone Edge to OHKO offensive Zapdos and Ceruledge. The remaining EVs are invested into Defense to power up Body Press and answer physical threats better.

IronPress Zamazenta best fits on offensive teams I think ID Zama is really good on balance too so probably fix this that appreciate its defensive utility and potency as a win condition. As such, offensive Offensive teammates that can lure in setup fodder for Zamazenta like Great Tusk, Roaring Moon, Kingambit, and Swampert pair well with it, making Roaring Moon, Zapdos, and Gholdengo great teammates. Bulky Fighting style resistant foes unafraid of its coverage like Pecharunt, Primarina, and both defensive Landorus formes Lando-T is fodder though? are Zamazenta's biggest roadblocks; thus, teammates who can deal with them pair well with Zamazenta, making Roaring Moon, Kingambit, and Latios good teammates. Kingambit is an especially notable partner as it compliments Zamazenta both offensively and defensively extremely well, with Kingambit switching into and threatening the Ghost- and Psychic-types Zamazenta detests while Zamazenta deals with Kingambit's checks like Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Body Press Corviknight maybe mention Gambit's sucker being able to revenge most of the threats that Zama is unable to. Zamazenta is forced out by threats that can either outspeed and threaten it or live a hit and attack in return like Latios, Deoxys-S, and Choice Scarf Scream Tail; thus, teammates who can deal with them like RegenVest Roaring Moon, Swampert, and Manaphy are greatly appreciated Roaring Moon is obliterated by two of these, change it to Iron Treads.
