This Pokemon was Bad, Got Worse, Won a Tournament

Zamazenta was the laughing stock of Sword and Shield, and then going into the next Pokemon games it was intentionally made weaker. And then it won a tournament. Here's how.

    I thought of the same thing but there is a problem with that. Both moves Behemoth Blade and Behemoth Bash are basically Iron Head that changes to these signature moves after both get their crowned form. Iron head is a physical attack but then suddenly becoming a defense scaling move might get confusing maybe that's why. I might be wrong as well.

Zama didn't really match well into the meta, even with Body Press it'd have still been walled hard by Calyrex and Wide Guard, and in Dynamax meta Max Ground attacks were very common due to the defense boost they provide (on top of having a neutrality to Max Airstream). It would have been way less bad surely, but still people would have much rather ran Zacian or Caly-S or Kyogre instead.

    @@worldiefeard8396 these are all very fair points. Though I do still feel that Zamazenta with body press, while maybe not better than zacian exactly, it would still be up there. Like Zama got nerfed. it hit harder and was bulkier in sw/sh. it wasn't the biggest nerf but like the treasures of ruin got nerfed 5-10 points and it mattered enough to stop chi-yu from being ENTIRELY busted. so idk Zamazenta with 5 more points in both defenses 10 more in attack with +1 defense on *every* switch in with stab body press and boosted behemoth bash could be pretty threating and could change the meta accordingly. It's hard to say with these things because it's full on alternate universe speculation but it's crazy to think Zama was potentially always this close to the spot light it just needed the one tool it should of had from the start. Body press seems perfectly built for Zamazenta and then for some reason they didn't give it to the poor dog.

    I'm glad someone brought up that Sword of Ruin actually increases the damage of Body Press. Body Press is really weird that way, despite calculating damage with your defense, it gets its damage cut by burn despite burn supposedly cutting your attack stat in half, and also gets its damage buffed by Choice Band despite the description literally saying that it boosts attack. This tells me that Sword of Ruin, burns, and the choice items don't modify your stats at all and are instead a multiplier added to the formula somewhere for physical moves. Pokémon really is a very weird, very complex game.

    16:53 - It’s so crazy how we are hearing you say this when last generation I think pretty much everyone would have said the opposite. All it took was Zacian getting neutered and Zamazenta receiving Body Press, because the fault of Zam’s ability not helping on the special side still exists, AND Zamazenta got nerfed alongside Zacian, with Body Press being its only actual buff.

    @@teno777 my bad, I should’ve said that the english, japanese, and chinese entries say so. However, I did check the other languages on bulbapedia, and every language uses older sister except the Romance languages which do use a feminine noun (however they are gendered languages, so that point is moot) and some word with a similar root to fraternity. Since it’s just the Romance languages that do this, I think it’s a cultural thing to get across the specific nuance, but I don’t speak French, Spanish, or Italian, so I have no clue.
