Zamazenta massively appreciates Future Sight support because its counterplay essentially just consists of Toxapex+a few other far more exploitable 'mons in practice, most of which also hate Future Sight. There isn't a whole lot to say here: Fighting STAB+Future Sight is a tried and true combo from the Urshifu-S days and this is basically just a slightly less immediately-potent version of that. They also have good defensive synergy: Zamazenta is both stupidly physically bulky thanks to Dauntless and naturally very specially fat anyway while Slowking is a more dedicated SpD sponge, and Zamazenta helps to deal with Dark-types like Weavile and Bisharp that Slowking hates. There isn't really much in the way of offensive 'mons that can force Zama out consistently, so Slowking doesn't do a whole lot to return the favour in that regard, but it can pivot through Volcarona for something that forces that out, which I guess is pretty nice. The main point of synergy is FuturePort though.
