[SET COMMENTS]
Zamazenta-C donates excellent all-around stats to its teammates while also being a fearsome attacker that can use its combination of bulk, Speed, and power to clean late-game. Its combination of Behemoth Bash and Close Combat lets it hit many defensive staples like Heatran, Clefable, and Ferrothorn super effectively. It is also able to hit the vast majority of the meta for neutral damage, including Pokemon like Rotom-W, Tangrowth, and Gastrodon. Wild Charge is used to chunk bulky Water- and Flying-types like Slowbro, Slowking, and Ho-Oh that would otherwise give it trouble. Howl turns Zamazenta-C into a threat to sweep, especially as its natural bulk and Dauntless Shield often afford it the room to set up. 152 Speed EVs with a Jolly nature allow it to outspeed Zygarde-10% and Alolan Persian, while the leftover EVs are put into HP to give it more bulk.

Since Zamazenta-C still donates Zamazenta-H's stats, it offers an excellent 138 Speed, very good 130 Attack, and solid 115 Defense and Special Defense, letting it support offensive and defensive receivers alike. Pokemon like Dhelmise and Volcanion can take advantage of this excellent Speed, transforming them into fast wallbreakers that outspeed Tapu Koko, Mewtwo, and most Speed receivers. In most cases, Zamazenta-C's Speed receiver will be the fastest unboosted Pokemon in the match, making it an exceedingly valuable donation. Pokemon like Zeraora and Victini appreciate the boosted Attack stat they receive and can create holes in the opposing team for Zamazenta-C to clean late-game hyphen, while defensive Pokemon like Tangrowth, Rotom-W, and Landorus-T enjoy their newfound bulk. Despite being primarily an offensive cleaner, Zamazenta-C can still help check dangerous attackers like Weavile and Rillaboom for its teammates. Even after a Howl boost, Zamazenta-C can still struggle to break through common defensive stalwarts like Skarmory and Slowbro, but teammates like Volcanion and Zeraora can help get past them. Zamazenta-C, despite its high natural bulk, can still struggle with Pokemon like Nidoking and Tapu Koko, so teammates like Gastrodon and Tangrowth can help patch up this weakness. Its lack of any recovery makes it susceptible to being chipped down by entry hazards, so it appreciates teammates like Landorus-T and Corviknight that can act as hazard removal as well as pivot support. Rillaboom synergizes well with Zamazenta-C thanks to its Grassy Terrain providing passive recovery and halving Earthquake's damage, allowing it to set up even against Earthquake users such as Landorus-T.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Zamazenta-C can opt for bulkier sets with Rest + Sleep Talk or be paired with a cleric like Clefable. Iron Tail is an alternative over Behemoth Bash if PP is a concern, but its low accuracy makes it unreliable. Finally, Zamazenta-C can use an Adamant nature at the cost of being outspeed by Zygarde-10%.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Physically Bulky Walls**: Pokemon like Giratina, Buzzwole, and Skarmory are all able to withstand attacks from Zamazenta-C and can take advantage of its limited attacking PP.

**Landorus-T**: Intimidate and enhanced bulk from a god allow Landorus-T to survive any hit from Zamazenta-C and force it out with Earthquake.

**Victini**: Victini resists both of Zamazenta-C's STAB attacks and is able to immediately threaten a KO with V-Create.

**Status Inducers**: Pokemon like Ho-Oh and Rotom-W that can inflict burn or paralysis can severely hinder Zamazenta-C.

The speed EVs allow it to outspeed Zygarde-10%, while the leftover EVs are put into HP to give it more bulk.

Zamazenta-C offers great stats for its teammates to recieve, including great Attack and Speed, and solid defensive stats. However, Zamazenta-C actually donates the stats of Zamazenta-H, so rather than the Speed reciever getting 128 Speed, it actually gets 138. Zamazenta-C is a fantastic donor. Since it still donates Zamazenta-H's stats, it offers an excellent 138 Speed, very good 130 Attack, and solid 115 Defense and Special Defense, letting it support offensive and defensive receivers alike.

Other Options
=============

Zamazenta-C has no other viable options. it can run bulkier sets with Rest and sleep talk or a cleric, but is much more passive. Can also opt for adamant for power, but then cannot outspeed Zydog.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Nidoking**: Nidoking is capable of almost always KOing Zamazenta-C and avoiding KOs from any of its attacks. 2HKOed by Blade and outspeed, cannot switch in

**Physically Bulky Walls**: Pokemon like Giratina, Tangrowth, and Skarmory are all able to withstand attacks from Zamazenta-C and can take advantage of its limited attacking PP.

add Lando and Victini, they pressure it out well

I'd add burn here (mention Pokemon that inflict burn like Ho-Oh and Rotom-W that it would 2HKO without burn at +1 otherwise)

GP 1/1! This is mostly berry's check, which I have combined with mine for ease of implementation. Please make sure they get credit as well and consider this a stamped check.

Don't use green for your additions; it is hard to read for colorblind users
The sentence you broke apart about Speed receivers meant you had two sentences in a row that were extremely similar; I think they should stay separate
In the Victini check, you misspelled "immediately"
In the Status Inducers check, you missed that burn and paralysis should be lower case

Zamazenta-C donates excellent all-around stats to its teammates while also being a fearsome attacker that can use its combination of bulk, Speed, and power to clean late-game. Its combination of Behemoth Bash and Close Combat lets it hit many defensive staples like Heatran, Clefable, and Ferrothorn super effectively. It is also able to hit the vast majority of the meta for neutral damage, including Pokemon like Rotom-W, Tangrowth, and Gastrodon. Wild Charge is used to chunk bulky Water- and Flying-types like Slowbro, Slowking, and Ho-Oh that would otherwise give it trouble. Howl turns Zamazenta-C into a threat to sweep, especially as its natural bulk and Dauntless Shield often afford it the room to set up. The speed 152 Speed EVs with a Jolly nature adding the specific EVs is a sidegrade, capitalizing it is necessary allow it to outspeed Zygarde-10% and Alolan Persian, while the leftover EVs are put into HP to give it more bulk.

Zamazenta-C is a fantastic donor. Since it Zamazenta-C still donates Zamazenta-H's stats, it offers an excellent 138 Speed, very good 130 Attack, and solid 115 Defense and Special Defense, letting it support offensive and defensive receivers alike. Pokemon like Dhelmise and Volcanion can take advantage of this excellent Speed, transforming them into fast wallbreakers, rc outspeeding Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Mewtwo and its Speed receivers. that outspeed Tapu Koko, Mewtwo, and most Speed receivers. In most cases, Zamazenta-C's Speed receiver will be the fastest unboosted Pokemon in the match, making it an exceedingly valuable donation. Pokemon like Zeraora and Victini appreciate the boosted Attack stat they receive and can create holes in the opposing team for Zamazenta-C to clean late-game hyphen, while defensive Pokemon like Tangrowth, Rotom-W, and Landorus-T enjoy their newfound bulk. Despite being primarily an offensive cleaner, Zamazenta-C can still help check dangerous attackers like Weavile and Rillaboom for its teammates. Even after a Howl boost, Zamazenta-C can still struggle to break through common defensive stalwarts like Skarmory and Slowbro, and but teammates like Volcanion and Zeraora can help get past them. Zamazenta-C, despite its high natural bulk, can still struggle with Pokemon like Nidoking and Tapu Koko, and so teammates like Gastrodon and Tangrowth can help patch up this weakness. Its lack of any recovery makes it susceptible to being chipped down by entry hazards, so it appreciates teammates like Landorus-T and Corviknight that can act as hazard removal as well as pivot support are great fits. Rillaboom synergizes well with Zamazenta-C thanks to its Grassy Terrain providing passive recovery and halving Earthquake's damage, allowing Zamazenta-C it to set up even against Earthquake users such as Landorus-T.

Other Options
=============

Zamazenta-C can opt for bulkier sets with Rest, rc with + Sleep Talk or be paired with a cleric like Clefable. Iron Tail is an alternative over Behemoth Bash if PP is a concern, but its low accuracy makes it unreliable. It Finally, Zamazenta-C can also use an Adamant nature at the cost of being outspeed by Zygarde-10%.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Physically Bulky Walls**: Pokemon like Giratina, Buzzwole, and Skarmory are all able to withstand attacks from Zamazenta-C and can take advantage of its limited attacking PP.

**Landorus-T**: Intimidate and enhanced bulk from a god allow Landorus-T to survive any hit from Zamazenta-C and force it out with Earthquake.

**Victini**: Victini resists both of Zamazenta-C's STAB attacks and is able to immediately threaten a KO with V-Create immediately.

**Status Inducers**: Pokemon like Ho-Oh and Rotom-W that can inflict status like burn and or paralysis can severely cripple hinder sidegrade, but sure Zamazenta-C.

GP 1/1! This is mostly berry's check, which I have combined with mine for ease of implementation. Please make sure they get credit as well and consider this a stamped check.

Don't use green for your additions; it is hard to read for colorblind users
The sentence you broke apart about Speed receivers meant you had two sentences in a row that were extremely similar; I think they should stay separate
In the Victini check, you misspelled "immediately"
In the Status Inducers check, you missed that burn and paralysis should be lower case




GP Team done
Implemented, thanks to you both!

All ready for upload!
