- Body Press
- Iron Defense
- Heavy Slam
- Substitute / Stone Edge
[SET COMMENTS]
Zamazenta-C is an excellent setup sweeper with its naturally high defenses, offensive prowess with Iron Defense + Body Press, and high Speed tier. Zamazenta-C comes at the cost of exclusively being able to use Dauntless Shield, which boosts its Body Press and gives Zamazenta-C immense physical bulk, Substitute blocks status and Dragon Tail from Garchomp, while Stone Edge hits Flying-types like Talonflame and Zapdos as well as Skeledirge. As Zamazenta-C has high Speed and forces out Meloetta and Alolan Muk, special wallbreakers like Hoopa and Hydreigon pair well with it, and they remove some of Zamazenta-C's checks like Unaware Cresselia in return. Scream Tail is another good partner with its ability to pass high HP Wishes to Zamazenta-C. Entry hazards, a lack of reliable recovery, and a nerfed Dauntless Shield mean Zamazenta-C cannot repeatedly switch in freely, which makes Corviknight a good partner with Defog and a slow U-turn, allowing Zamazenta-C to come in safely; alternatively, Corviknight's dual screens set gives Zamazenta-C an easier time setting up.
