[SET COMMENTS]
With its combination of robust defenses and good Attack, Zamazenta-C is an excellent mid- or late-game sweeper for bulkier teams. Body Press synergizes well with Iron Defense and Dauntless Shield, and when combined with Zamazenta-C's brilliant natural bulk, it can quickly clean up weakened teams. Behemoth Bash or Heavy Slam lets it Zamazenta-C answer Fairy-types, like Zacian and Tera Fairy Arceus-Dark, and Crunch lets it tackle Psychic- and Ghost-types, like Mewtwo, Giratina, Lugia, and Deoxys. 200 Speed EVs with a Jolly Nature allow it to outspeed Cyclizar, 112 Attack EVs let it have a favorable roll to 2HKO Mewtwo, and the rest of the EVs go into Defense to maximize Body Press's damage. Tera Water lets Zamazenta-C stay in on more opponents foes like Arceus-Fire, Palafin, Chi-Yu, and Kyurem-W, and Tera Flying lets you it resist Fighting-type moves from the likes of Mewtwo, Zacian, and Deoxys and be immune to Ground-type moves from Great Tusk, Landorus, and Ursaluna, though a weakness to Stealth Rock is added. Being able to check Magearna, Zacian, Dialga, Ursaluna-B, Arceus-Dark, Palafin, and Palkia-O, Zamazenta-C is appreciated by Giratina, Chi-Yu, Palkia-O, Arceus-Dark and Mewtwo. Zamazenta-C suffers from being worn down by entry hazards, so a hazard remover like Great Tusk or Giratina is needed. It also appreciates hazard support of its own from setters like Magearna and Dialga. Fighting-, Ground-, and Fire-resistant Pokemon like Arceus-Poison, Rillaboom, and Giratina are also a boon to Zamazenta-C, as they can stomach whatever hits come at it.
