- Stone Edge / Substitute
[SET COMMENTS]
Zamazenta-C leverages its high bulk and Speed to be an excellent setup sweeper with Iron Defense + Body Press while also being able to check many of the tier's dangerous offensive threats with its excellent defensive typing. Zamazenta-C can only use Dauntless Shield, which increases its potency as a setup sweeper while boosting Body Press. Stone Edge threatens an OHKO on Iron Moth while 2HKOing Dragonite, Ceruledge, and Primordial Sea Zapdos. Substitute can be used to block status and phazing moves, notably surviving a Scald from defensive Manaphy and a Dragon Tail from Garchomp, as well as pivoting moves from defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight, Empoleon, Mandibuzz, and Manaphy. Special wallbreakers such as Gengar, Azelf, and Walking Wake appreciate Zamazenta-C being able to threaten switch-ins to them such as Empoleon, Hisuian Goodra, and RegenVest Roaring Moon, as well as offensive checks such as Weavile, Roaring Moon, and Ogerpon-C, as the aforementioned teammates are otherwise forced out by the threat of an OHKO; in return, they can remove Zamazenta-C's checks, such as defensive Kommo-o and Zapdos. Zamazenta-C struggles with physically defensive Pokemon that can counter it by setting up on their own, such as Iron Defense Kommo-o and Corviknight, as well as Bulk Up Great Tusk, so teammates that can check them such as Zapdos and Scream Tail are appreciated, with the latter being able to pass Wishes to Zamazenta-C. Zamazenta-C is also weak to entry hazards, so teammates that can remove hazards such as Corviknight and Great Tusk are appreciated.
