Hello. Trapp here to nom comfey to D.
It actually doesn’t need synthesis to beat zone. All it requires to beat zone semi-reliably(cuz crits and spdef drops exist) are amnesia, leech seed, and encore in case it is metal sound zone. With it’s base 110 spdef, it can abuse amnesia to survive many of magnezone’s attacks. I expect no one to be running physical zone.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Magnezone Steel Beam vs. +2 240 HP / 248+ SpD Comfey: 254-302 (83.8 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Adaptability Porygon-Z Hyper Beam vs. 240 HP / 248+ SpD Comfey: 250-296 (82.5 - 97.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Funny calc where comfey is bulky.
Comfey can sometimes beat fini if the fini doesn’t run taunt.
I’ve seen comfey beat aromatisse, but I haven’t tested it enough to know if it reliably beat it.
I do know it can beat things like prim and sylv though, thanks to encore and amnesia.
It also has a small chance of beating lando-I, and ieleki but odds are greatly improved if protect is slotted over encore.
252+ SpA Choice Specs Volcanion Sludge Wave vs. 240 HP / 248+ SpD Comfey: 232-274 (76.5 - 90.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
The bulk on comfey also allows it to live specs sludge wave from volcanion. With amnesia and leech seed, it can usually stall out volcanion provided you don’t get crit and the volcanion isn’t physical. This is once again a scenario where protect may be useful over encore.
With it’s decent speed tier, comfey can encore trap slower stall mons and slowly chip away with leech seed
This is more of a variation set. It’s kind of a joke set meant to have a better mu against steela. Also has a small chance to beat banded aggron so that’s kind of cool.
