[SET COMMENTS]
IronPress Zamazenta-C is one of the most dangerous physical setup sweepers in Regulation G, leveraging its amazing bulk and typing to take over games without being slowed down by Intimidate. Fighting is an excellent offensive type in the current metagame, giving Zamazenta-C a great matchup spread against common Restricted Pokemon like Terapagos, Calyrex-I, Groudon, and Zacian-C; in addition, the popularity of Dark-types like Incineroar, Ting-Lu, and Chien-Pao is great news for it. Behemoth Bash is a useful secondary STAB move that importantly covers Flutter Mane and damages other Fighting-resistant Pokemon more than an unboosted Body Press, reducing the amount of team support Zamazenta-C needs to circumvent its checks. Protect is the default fourth move for the flexibility it provides with positioning, but Wide Guard is an amazing utility option that protects against deadly spread moves like Astral Barrage and Water Spout, improving the Calyrex-S and Kyogre matchups considerably. 84 Defense EVs with an Impish nature give Body Press enough power to OHKO Miraidon and 2HKO most Fighting-resistant Pokemon after an Iron Defense boost, most notably Landorus and Tornadus, assuming Dauntless Shield is active. The given special bulk investment allows Zamazenta-C to survive Choice Scarf Chi-Yu's Flamethrower and avoid a 2HKO from most Flutter Mane variants. The Speed investment ensures that Zamazenta-C will outrun Adamant Ogerpon formes. Tera Water is the most consistent Tera type, letting Zamazenta-C shed all of its type weaknesses and giving it key resistances to Fire and Water, the latter of which is especially useful against Kyogre and Urshifu-R. Alternatively, Tera Grass keeps Zamazenta-C's Fire weakness and worsens its chances against Flying-types like Tornadus; in exchange, it becomes immune to Amoonguss's powder moves and gains a resistance to Ground- and Electric-type attacks, which helps it greatly against Landorus, Miraidon, and Raging Bolt.

As a bulky setup sweeper, Zamazenta-C performs at its best when its team is built around damage mitigation and redirection strategies, giving it as many opportunities as possible to set up Iron Defense and fire off its attacks. Rillaboom is an excellent partner that helps Zamazenta-C by providing Fake Out support, recovery from Grassy Terrain, speed control with Grassy Glide, and a useful typing that lets it check Miraidon and Kyogre. Incineroar can make Zamazenta-C even more unbreakable on the physical side with Fake Out and Intimidate, and as a Dark-type, it provides an important check to Calyrex-S. Raging Bolt boasts great offensive and defensive synergy with Zamazenta-C, picking off weakened targets with Thunderclap while helping against Kyogre and Urshifu-R; it can also run an effective Calm Mind set that appreciates the support options that Zamazenta-C wants on its team anyway. Redirectors like Amoonguss and Ogerpon-W give Zamazenta-C even more setup opportunities, and the former can take this a step further by disabling foes with Spore and healing Zamazenta-C with Pollen Puff. Flutter Mane can slow down faster Pokemon with Icy Wind or help break physical tanks with a Choice Specs set; either way, it's great for threatening faster Restricted Pokemon like Koraidon, Miraidon, and Calyrex-S. Ting-Lu can augment Zamazenta-C's special bulk with Vessel of Ruin, check Miraidon and Calyrex-S, and chip foes into Body Press's KO range with Ruination.

IronPress Zamazenta-C is one of the most dangerous physical sweepers in Regulation G, leveraging its amazing bulk and typing to take over games without being slowed down by Intimidate. Fighting is an excellent offensive type in the current metagame, giving Zamazenta-C a great matchup spread against common restricted Pokemon like Terapagos, Calyrex-I, Groudon, and Zacian-C, and Kyurem-W; (Fake mon.) in addition, the high popularity of Dark-types like Incineroar, Ting-Lu, and Chien-Pao is also great news for it. Behemoth Bash is a useful secondary STAB move that importantly covers Flutter Mane and damages other Fighting-resistant Pokemon more than an unboosted Body Press, reducing the amount of team support Zamazenta-C needs to circumvent its checks (Up to you but probably remove this, Zama isn't exactly helping its team by hitting Amoonguss or Landorus with Behemoth Bash, if anything else needs to be mentioned it'd be Clefairy.). Protect is the default fourth move for the flexibility it provides with positioning, but Wide Guard is an amazing utility option that protects against deadly spread moves like Astral Barrage and Water Spout, and Precipice Blades, improving the Calyrex-S and Kyogre, and Groudon (Groudon mu is kind of free already, you'd usually Iron Dfense and not let the restricted go in a stalemate if yours wins.) matchups considerably. 52 Defense EVs with an Impish nature give Body Press enough power to 2HKO most Fighting-resistant Pokemon after a boost, most notably Landorus, Tornadus, and Rayquaza, assuming Dauntless Shield is active. The given special bulk investment allows Zamazenta-C to survive Choice Scarf Chi-Yu's Flamethrower from full health and avoid a 2HKO from most Flutter Mane variants. 4 Attack EVs help net a consistent OHKO on Flutter Mane with Behemoth Bash, (They either die from 0 anyway or take both, 4 are just the leftover EVs.) and the Speed investment ensures that Zamazenta-C will outrun Landorus (Iffy benchmark, most are Modest so you can drop the speed and get more value from guaranteeing you take two Earth Powers and OHKOing Miraidon after ID.). Tera Water is the most consistent Tera type, letting Zamazenta-C shed all of its type weaknesses and giving it key resistances to Fire and Water, the latter of which is especially useful against Kyogre and Urshifu-R. Alternatively, Tera Grass keeps Zamazenta-C's Fire weakness and worsens its chances against Flying-types like Rayquaza and Ho-Oh Tornadus (I'd like to imagine Brave Bird doesn't do anything to +3 Zamazenta, Rayquaza can at least set up alongside it, Ho-Oh's positive match up comes from fishing for burns.), but in exchange it becomes immune to Amoonguss's powder moves and gains a resistance to Ground- and Electric-type attacks, which helps it greatly against Landorus, Miraidon, and Raging Bolt. More offbeat but still useful Tera options include Fire and Fighting; the former grants a Fairy resistance and burn immunity, while the latter powers up Body Press and still removes the weaknesses associated with a Steel typing; however, both of these are harder to use due to their difficulties with Water- and Fairy-types, respectively. (Probably not worth mentioning with them having no usage and not being in the set. At least Fire, which doesn't help against any of your weaknesses (Urshifu-R, Landorus, Amoonguss.))

As a bulky setup sweeper, Zamazenta-C performs at its best when its team is built around damage mitigation and redirection strategies, giving it as many opportunities as possible to set up Iron Defense and fire off its attacks. Rillaboom is an excellent partner that helps Zamazenta-C by providing Fake Out support, recovery from Grassy Terrain, speed control with Grassy Glide, and a useful typing that lets it check Miraidon and Kyogre. Incineroar can make Zamazenta-C even more unbreakable on the physical side with Fake Out and Intimidate, and its Dark typing provides an important check to Calyrex-S. (Consider that the two points can be merged, Incineroar and Rillaboom provide...and check..., as well as bring utility in.. Just an example) Raging Bolt boasts great offensive as well as defensive synergy with Zamazenta-C, picking off weakened targets with Thunderclap while helping against Miraidon; it can also run an effective Calm Mind set that appreciates the support options that Zamazenta-C wants on its team anyway.

IronPress (you could perhaps put this in quotations in case a new player thinks it's a move or item or whatnot) Zamazenta-C is one of the most dangerous physical setup (it has immediate offensive pressure yes, but not to that level) sweepers in Regulation G, leveraging its amazing bulk and typing to take over games without being slowed down by Intimidate. Fighting is an excellent offensive type in the current metagame, giving Zamazenta-C a great matchup spread against common restricted Pokemon like Terapagos, Calyrex-I, Groudon, and Zacian-C (fighting doesn't hit any of these); in addition, the high popularity of Dark-types like Incineroar, Ting-Lu, and Chien-Pao is also great news for it. Behemoth Bash is a useful secondary STAB move that importantly covers Flutter Mane and damages other Fighting-resistant Pokemon more than an unboosted Body Press, reducing the amount of team support Zamazenta-C needs to circumvent its checks.

Tera Water is the most consistent Tera type, letting Zamazenta-C shed all of its type weaknesses and giving it key resistances to Fire and Water, the latter of which is especially useful against Kyogre and Urshifu-R. Alternatively, Tera Grass keeps Zamazenta-C's Fire weakness and worsens its chances against Flying-types like Rayquaza and (you keep mentioning rayquaza, which isn't a terribly relevant pokemon, tornadus happens to fine enough. Arguably, zamazenta doesn' even struggle against super effective dragon ascents assuming you have iron defense up 252+ Atk Rayquaza Dragon Ascent vs. +3 220 HP / 84+ Def Tera-Grass Zamazenta-Crowned: 66-78 (33.8 - 40%) -- guaranteed 3HKO) Tornadus, but in exchange it becomes immune to Amoonguss's powder moves and gains a resistance to Ground- and Electric-type attacks, which helps it greatly against Landorus, Miraidon, and Raging Bolt.

As a bulky setup sweeper, Zamazenta-C performs at its best when its team is built around damage mitigation and redirection strategies, giving it as many opportunities as possible to set up Iron Defense and fire off its attacks.

Mentioning Kyogre or urshifu-r might be better); it can also run an effective Calm Mind set that appreciates the support options that Zamazenta-C wants on its team anyway. Redirectors like Amoonguss and Ogerpon-W give Zamazenta-C even more setup opportunities, and the former can take this a step further by disabling foes with Spore and healing Zamazenta-C with Pollen Puff.

Flutter Mane can slow down faster Pokemon with Icy Wind or help break physical tanks with a Choice Specs set; (RC, ASC) and either way, (AC) it's great for threatening faster Restricted Pokemon like Koraidon, Miraidon, and Calyrex-S. Ting-Lu can augment Zamazenta-C's special bulk with Vessel of Ruin, check Miraidon and Calyrex-S, and chip foes into Body Press's KO range with Ruination.
