The Warrior Pokemon is the hero of National Dex! Zamazenta uses the combination of Iron Defense and Body Press to become a threatening and sturdy setup sweeper, setting up on physical attackers like Ogerpon-W, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Scizor. Heavy Slam hits Fairy-types like Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant. Crunch dents Pokemon like Galarian Slowking and Tera Ghost Ferrothorn. Substitute allows Zamazenta to scout for switches and set up in the face of passive Pokemon like Gliscor, Ferrothorn, and Garganacl. Tera Steel gives Zamazenta a resistance to moves like Galarian Slowking's Sludge Bomb and Future Sight as well as Fairy- and Flying-type attacks from foes like Iron Valiant, Tapu Lele, and Zapdos. The given EV spread allows Zamazenta to OHKO Raging Bolt at +4 and 2HKO Zapdos at +6 while outspeeding Mega Lopunny. Teammates like Darkrai and Ogerpon-W that break through Zamazenta's checks like Galarian Slowking and Toxapex make for good partners. Other good teammates include Pursuit users like Weavile, as they can trap the aforementioned Galarian Slowking, removing a potential roadblock to Zamazenta.
