The Hero of Many Battles Zamazenta is a Tier 5 legendary raid boss in Pokémon GO and it can be shiny!
Zamazenta, along with Zacian, is among the two cover legendaries of the Pokémon Sword and Shield games.
With pure Fighting typing, Zamazenta is boosted by Cloudy weather and its counters include strong Psychic, , and Fairy type Pokémon. With strong counters, Zamazenta can possibly be duo’d in ideal weather conditions and high-level counters. But to be safe, 4-5 high-level trainers can get the job done easily.
It can be caught with the following CP values:
- 2100 – 2188 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
- 2625 – 2735 CP at Level 25 with Cloudy weather boost
Let’s check out the best raid counters to make quick work of Zamazenta!

Zamazenta Moveset Analysis
Fast Moves | Charge Moves |
---|---|
|
|
Quick Attack is the easiest of the bunch. It won’t bother any of your counters.
Metal Claw is a good move and troubles your Fairy type counters. With neat damage and energy generation, and being largely unresisted by your counters, it is worth your attention.
Ice Fang does quite a number on your
types and is damaging enough. However, it has a 3-turn cooldown and can be used to sneak in your own charged attacks.Snarl has high energy generation and is threatening in that regard. Plus, it deals super-effective damage to your Psychic types.
Moonblast hits hard but can be dodged to prolong your counters’ presence.
Iron Head does neat neutral damage to most of your counters.
Close Combat is a dangerous STAB move on Zamazenta and with that ATK stat of 254, it should be damaging. However, both Psychic and types resist it. Yay!
Crunch hits very often and when paired with Snarl, is worrisome for your Psychic types.
