• Fighting Attacker:Metal ClawClose Combat
• Steel Attacker:Metal ClawBehemoth Bash

Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) is among the strongest Pokémon in the meta, courtesy of its high stats, access to Behemoth Bash, and utility in both Raids and Max Battles. It is a top-notch Steel-type attacker, but its movepool also makes it useful against Dragon Raid Bosses. We all know that Steel Pokémon are renowned for their defensive strength, and Zamazenta (Crowned Shield), along with its high damage output, is one of the best representatives of this typing. 🔰

⭐ You can transform Zamazenta (Hero of Many Battles) into Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) with Behemoth Bash as long as it has Iron Head as a Charged Attack. This will require 1,000 Crowned Shield Energy and 30 Zamazenta Candy.

🗺️ Adventure Effect

Behemoth Bash reduces the damage taken by all participants in a Raid by 10% and in a Max Battle by 5%.

It costs 5,000 Stardust and 5 Zamazenta Candy for activation. It lasts for 6 minutes per use.

⚔️ Raids

Behemoth Bash is one of the strongest moves in Pokémon GO, boasting a DPSxDPE value of 208.33, which is surprisingly way above Behemoth Blade (DPSxDPE of 114.29). It is only due to Zamazenta (Crowned Shield)’s 250 ATK being lower than Zacian (Crowned Sword)’s 332 ATK that puts the latter ahead in the Steel-type DPS rankings. Still, it is absolutely phenomenal in its own right, giving an impressive mix of DPS and TDO.

👉 Against Raid Bosses weak to Steel

Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) is phenomenal against Fairy, Ice, and Rock Raid Bosses when purely analyzed on an offensive front. However, it should be noted that due to this Legendary’s Fighting subtyping, it takes neutral damage from Fairy attacks, but boasts a 0.391x resistance to Rock moves. As such, Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) is particularly recommended for usage against Rock-type Raid Bosses, while also helping glass cannon attackers in its team survive longer thanks to the DEF boost it provides.

👉 Against Dragon Raid Bosses

Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) resists Dragon-type offense, is naturally bulky, and with Ice Fang and Moonblast as its moveset, it can adopt the role of a Dragon slayer to much success!

🔮 Max Battles

Without even needing to Dynamax, Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) can function amazingly well in the role of a tanky defender, absorbing damage, and switching out to let your main attackers execute their Max Moves (mostly GMax moves).

With Metal Claw being a 0.5s move, it fits the role of a defender quite well, helping charge your Max Moves in as little time as possible.

Keep in mind that while upgrading Behemoth Bash boosts damage, it is strongly recommended to unlock and upgrade Max Guard first. This allows your Zamazenta (Crowned Shield) to start Max Battles with free shields.

Recommended moves

• Ultra League:Ice FangClose CombatBehemoth Bash
• Master League:Ice FangClose CombatBehemoth Bash

Crowned Shield Zamazenta's exceptionally high stats make it suitable only for the Master League.

🟣 Master League

With nine resistances and high resistances all across the board, Crowned Shield Zamazenta was always destined to be amazing in the Master League. But what truly makes it outstanding is Ice Fang (excellent coverage against a Dragon and Flying heavy meta) and Behemoth Bash (only 45 energy and 30% chance to drop the opponent's ATK by 0.80x).

All these traits help Crowned Shield Zamazenta take down the League's top Dragons, Flying types (except Ho-Oh and Lugia) and even most Fairies (except Crowned Sword Zacian and Primarina). Thanks to coverage from Close Combat, Crowned Shield Zamazenta also beats all prominent Steel types except Metagross. Mostly, this Legendary should only be wary about Psychic and Ground types (still beats Landorus Therian), and the first DEF reduction from Close Combat also doesn't harm it too much.

The best part is that as a finisher, in the (0-0) shield scenario, Crowned Shield Zamazenta is also able to eliminate some Pokémon it can't beat in the (1-1), including Metagross, Primarina, and Lugia. As a lead, it is relatively weaker, so it's best to use it in the middle or later stages of the battle.
