    Imagine going back in time and telling a gen 8 vgc player that zamazenta becomes one of the best legendaries in the format and zacian becomes one of the worst Edit: I know zacian is far from the worst, I just over exaggerated it to make the joke work better
  • @Wafflefrieslmdh
    "So you're getting nerfed for gen 9?" "Yeah" "Do you think you'll lose?" "Nah, I'd win" *body presses everything*
  • @starshot2476
    Game Freak really tried to trick us into thinking this thing was on par with Zacian
  • @papplejuicetv
    funny how the Shield Dog actually ended up getting paired with the Sword CAT instead.
  • The "yes, yes it is" after questioning it's viability had me cracking up because it was so non-chalant
  • @peterstorm8089
    The fact Zamazenta is still affected by Intimidate just it doesn't effect its primary method of attack makes me imagine it as this terrified Scooby/Courage type dog accidentally crushing the scary cat man in its panic.

    It's such a shame that we didn't get to see gen 8 with Body Press Zamazenta. Imagine both doggos at full power and evenly matched.

    It was always weird that Zams didn't get Body Press from the get-go. Did they test it and think it was overpowered? Compared to Zacian, of all things? Or did it genuinely slip their minds all this time? Either way, really happy to see my doggo from Shield having a good time!
  • Zacian, the Pokémon designed to be the pinnacle of offense, is being out damaged by their overlooked defensive brother and their evil sword cat friend
  • @monkeman8759
    Love how the addition of body practically saved 3 of the worst legendaries (regirock registeel and zama) and has given them actual viability and a chance for success
  • @nategwright
    It’s amazing how Intimidate’s ubiquitousness in competitive was part of why Zacian was so good in Gen 8 and overshadow Zamazenta because its ability basically made it immune to Intimidate, but now Intimidate makes Zacian a liability and lets Zamazenta shine.

    They’re finally giving my Shield Boi the love it deserves. Big Body Pressin’ Zama
  • "Zacian is too weak" is the one sentence I never thought I would hear. Glad to see Shield doggo thriving. I'm 100% confident Zamazenta (as well as some other supportive restricteds like Lunala) will skyrocket in usage once 2x restricteds will happen. Having that insane support movepool while also having a nuke at same time is huge.
