[SET COMMENTS]
Boasting extraordinary physical bulk and the highest unboosted Speed in the tier, Zamazenta can use Iron Defense and Body Press to become a powerful setup sweeper and cleaner. Substitute allows Zamazenta to set up on Pokemon such as Gliscor and Alomomola that heavily rely on Toxic for their offensive pressure and to be unthreatened by Knock Off from the likes of Mega Tyranitar and Hisuian Samurott, while Heavy Slam allows Zamazenta to immediately threaten Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant, both of which commonly use Choice Scarf and Booster Energy respectively to outspeed Zamazenta and have enough bulk coupled with a Fighting resistance to take a Body Press and threaten Zamazenta immediately. Alternatively, Crunch can be used to deal with Galarian Slowking and is also stronger than Heavy Slam against Pokemon such as Ferrothorn that commonly Terastallize into the Ghost typing, and Stone Edge is another option that threatens Volcarona and Zapdos while avoiding Flame Body and Static, respectively, and allows Zamazenta to deal with Tornadus-T without the need to Terastallize. Zamazenta struggles to break through Pokemon such as Galarian Slowking, Zapdos, and Toxapex that have the bulk to take multiple boosted Body Press and either threaten it back directly or can use Haze to remove Zamazenta's boosts. Therefore, teammates such as Mega Tyranitar that can Pursuit trap and wear down these Pokemon are invaluable. Other options such as Calm Mind Iron Valiant can also trade for heavy damage against most of these Pokemon, clearing the way for Zamazenta to sweep. Tera Electric allows Zamazenta to turn Zapdos into a setup opportunity, resisting both of its STAB attacks and being unafraid of Static, while Tera Steel allows Zamazenta to set up on Choice-locked Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant as well as turning Heavy Slam into an OHKO on both.

Zamazenta struggles to break through Pokemon such as Galarian Slowking, Zapdos, and Toxapex that have the bulk to take multiple boosted Body Presses and either threaten it back directly or can use Haze to remove Zamazenta's boosts. Need some sort of transition word here, maybe something like "Therefore, teammates such as..." Teammates such as Mega Tyranitar that can Pursuit trap to wear down these Pokemon are invaluable, other options such as Calm Mind Iron Valiant can trade for heavy damage against most of these Pokemon, clearing the way for Zamazenta to sweep. Tera Electric allows Zamazenta to turn Zapdos into a setup opportunity, resisting both STAB attacks and being unafraid of sStatic, while Tera Steel allows Zamazenta to set up on choice locked Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant, as well as turning Heavy Slam into an OHKO on both (0 Atk Zamazenta Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tapu Lele: 256-302 (91.1 - 107.4%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO) (0 Atk Zamazenta Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Iron Valiant: 220-260 (76.1 - 89.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO) these both r guaranteed kills after tera so this adds some more description. The given spread allows Zamazenta to outspeed Mega Lopunny, and maximum Defense investment is favored over HP investment to maximize Body Press' immediate power. since it's just max max, you wont need to describe the ev spread
