OM [MnM] Aggronite Zamazenta

Zamazenta @ Aggronite
Ability: Dauntless Shield
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Crunch
- Stone Edge

This hero wears a different crown! Zamazenta is a menace in Mix and Mega thanks to Aggronite, which provides a beefy +50 Defense as well as the Steel typing, all while retaining Zamazenta's base 138 Speed stat. Furthermore, Filter is a fantastic ability that allows Zamazenta to tank quite a few super effective hits, even more so against physical ones. Being naturally fast allows Zamazenta to use Iron Defense first, allowing it to not only boost the power of Body Press but also soft check a lot of the physical attackers within the metagame such as Dragonite and Pinsirite Great Tusk. Crunch and Stone Edge round out its coverage, nailing the likes of Lunala, Ceruledge, and Ho-Oh. Pokemon such as Magearna, Lunala, and Ho-Oh all complement Zamazenta's ability to handle most physical threats with their natural special bulk. Zamazenta struggles with Pokemon that brush off Body Press, such as Pecharunt, Arceus-Fairy, and Arceus-Ghost; therefore, Pokemon such as Gyaradosite Pecharunt and Arceus-Ghost, alongside other Pokemon such as Ho-Oh and Mandibuzz, can alleviate that issue. Pokemon such as Eternatus or Arceus-Water can provide a secondary physical wall, as Zamazenta is prone to being worn down and overwhelmed.

This hero wears a different crown! Zamazenta is a menace in Mix and Mega thanks to Aggronite, which provides a beefy +50 Defense as well as the Steel typing, all while retaining Zamazenta's base 138 Speed stat. Furthermore, Filter is a fantastic ability that allows Zamazenta to tank quite a few supereffective hits, even more so on the physical side. Being naturally fast allows Zamazenta to click Iron Defense first, allowing it to not only boost the power of Body Press, but also to tank physical hits with ease I would probably change this last part a bit to highlight the fact that this lets Zama "check" and force out a lot of physical attackers like Dnite, Pinstusk, Harcanine etc. . Crunch and Stone Edge round out its coverage, nailing the likes of Pecharunt, Spectrier Lunala, Ceruledge, and Ho-oh Not wrong per say but both Pecha and Spect tend to use type-changing stones that make them neutral to Crunch, and the other two are still notable examples to hit. Pokemon such as Magearna, Lunala, and Ho-oh all complement Zamazenta's ability to handle most physical threats by complementing with their natural special bulk. Despite having Crunch and Stone Edge, Zamazenta still struggles with Fighting-resistant Pokemon, such as any Altarianite user like Dragonite or Regieleki and Pinsirite Tusk, so Pokemon such as Eternatus or Arceus-Water can help wear these Pokemon down for Zamazenta. This last sentence isn't entirely true, since with Dauntless pre-mega all of these are easy setup fodder for Zamazenta. What Zama really dislikes is Pecharunt and Arc fomes that aren't bothered by Body Press (mainly Fairy- and Ghostceus) so they need to be mentioned. Noting though that having a secondary physical wall is still good so you could still keep the sentence with Etern & Waterceus as partners, just mention instead that they help prevent zama being overwhelmed.
