As many other live-service titles operate with constant events and opportunities to keep players coming back for more, Pokemon GO is no different in this format. Every season of the game, Trainers have a series of recurring and one-off events that offer new Research opportunities, Collection Challenges, shiny hunting chances, Raid Battles, Max Battles, and more.

Through Pokemon GO's Max Out Season and the events taking place in this timeframe, Zamazenta made a return as a Raid Boss for players to go up against in battle, and even obtain for their collection. Following this, plenty of players will be planning to utilize Zamazenta in battle, due to it being a Legendary monster with some solid stats. However, to gain the most benefit from including this Pokemon in their team rotation, Trainers should know the best movesets for Zamazenta. Players can find all relevant information regarding suitable moveset combinations and potential damage output for this Pokemon in the guide below.

Best Moveset For "Hero of Many Battles" Zamazenta

hero of many battles zamazenta

In Pokemon GO, Zamazenta is a pure Fighting Type Pokemon, meaning its weaknesses and resistance are fairly even and easy to keep in mind, in comparison to dual-Types. Zamazenta is powerful in battle matchups against Rock, Bug, and Dark Type enemies, so players should look to best utilize it in scenarios against these Pokemon.

To further boost Hero of Many Battles Zamazenta's power during combat, players should keep an eye out for any opportunities to fight under Cloudy weather conditions, as this legendary monster will receive an increase in power through the Weather Boost mechanic.

While Zamazenta's Hero of Many battles form is effective against some foes, it is also weak to Pokemon or powerful moves of the Psychic, Fairy, and Flying Types. Due to this, Trainers should aim to avoid such matchups when including Zamazenta on their team rotation and plan the other members of their team to effectively fill these gaps and overcome this Type advantage.

When paired with the best Fast Move and Charged Move combination, which has been outlined below, players can expect Zamazenta's Hero of Many Battles form to deal approximately 14.73 damage per second, and a total damage output of around 531.1 before fainting to opponents in battle.

Best Hero of Many Battles Zamazenta Moveset

  • Fast Move: Metal Claw
  • Charged Move: Close Combat
