Zacian is far from the worst, it's actually still better than average if you think about how it's better than every single restricted legendary from Gens 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7. That's everything spanning 23 years from 1996-2019 except for the two eternally viable weather setters from Gen 3.

Lol body press is just what gives it a real way to deal damage, its ok but not great, other mons have better offense because of tera nuking, it's just the meta around it. Wide guard is on absolutely no legal mons that are good, besides it- people are literally running mienshao and pelliper for just access to that. And bulk with the ability to 1 shot fairy, dark, and normals running around. The meta demands the mon right now with flutter mane and calys causing that.

Having that insane support movepool while also having a nuke at same time is huge.

@@waitingfortheequinnox again, Zamazenta's rise was not meteoric at all. Most people would still rather use a special restricted like Kyogre or Calyrex-S to mitigate the intimidate problem and some other picks that do Zamazenta's job. Zamazenta is also not creating consistent results as opposed to its competitors. The opportunity cost of not being a better restricted is also there. And Zamazenta is also not strong enough to win you a tournament if you are not running Iron Defense / Body Press set, which is predictable. The only reason Zama got this high because this is a single restricted format, which was totally unexpected and most people would rather take the safe way rather than the risky ones. Tldr; Zamazenta's rise (if you can even call it that) is nowhere close to meteoric, and most people still think that Zamazenta is not a tournament winning restricted.

Zamazenta being a fighting type is a blessing this generation because the Dark Type has been incredibly dominant this Gen. So many strong Dark Types are meta viable, Dark Type attacks are very widespread (especially Knock Off). And Zacian was hit much more with the Statnerf from Gen 8 to 9 then Zamazenta was. I wouldnt say Zacian is too weak. Its still absurdly powerful. The meta simply doesnt favour it (mainly thanks to incineroar being such a broken Pokemon.. if it was Arcanine Zacian would shine much more because it didnt have to fear a Parting shot on its swords dance turn).

I really enjoy Chien-Pao in Reg G. Ice Spinner is phenomenal for terrain teams, and sword of ruin enhances many Pokémon. I specially like a core of Speed Boosting Flutter Mane, Sash Pao, AV Entei and Scarf Koraidon. Flutter mane supports with spread damage and Icy Wind speed control, Pao has priority, eliminates terrain, and makes Koraidon and Entei stronger, Entei with AV can be rather specially bulky, being very helpful vs Miraidon, Caly-S and Terapagos, while having the best priority in ESpeed, and also having the busted Sacred Fire boosted by Koraidon’s Sun. Finally, Koraidon can use Scarf to outrun most of the meta, is extremely powerful, has U-Turn to pivot around, and provides the sun to make Entei stronger, and Flutter Mane faster.

I love both zacian and zamazenta, zacian by far my favorite and one of the coolest legendaries. I'm glad zamazenta getting love, would be cool to see both have a worlds title

Wouldn't swords of ruin have some negative synnergy too by loweing zamazenta's defense stat and making body press weaker? I guess chien-pao supports it so well otherwise that this is fine, but I'm curious how that effects the calcs.

I’m so glad Zamazenta has been getting some attention. It’s been my favorite Pokémon ever since it got introduced and I feel like it’s design was super underrated... I just really like it’s color scheme lol

That’s why I picked shield over sword when those games first came out. Zamazenta’s design was so cool. I didn’t know this at the time either, but miraidon is better than koraidon due to not having any 4x weaknesses. I picked violet as my main at the time because it had the present-day version exclusives I wanted to have on my team

aside from the dark typing, is chien pao that good of a partner for zam? reducing everythings defense means that body press just does the same damage as it would without sword of ruin, right?

Sword of Ruin doesn't actually affect the defense, just move power, so basically it just gives all physical moves a 33% power boost.

6:02 It may have been for special attacking since the rest are all physical. 1 D Meteor is painful and it has an excellent Luster Purge to hit fighting types. Icy Wind is good for speed control.
