Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Zamazenta in Pokémon, trying to figure out the absolute best way to use this beast. I started by experimenting the moves I can get my hands on.
Experimenting Phase
First, I jumped into some Gym battles. I wanted to see what kind of damage output I could get with different moves. After a few tries, it was obvious that a combination of Snarl and Close Combat was dishing out some serious hurt. It felt like the damage was way higher than with other moves I tried.

- I tested Crunch. Seemed pretty good, but not as good as the winning combo.
- I gave Metal Claw a shot. Nope.
- I even tried some other random moves, but nothing was hitting as hard.
The Winning Combination
So, Snarl and Close Combat, those are the two you want. They just work so well together, and I was crushing it in Gyms. I also figured out, It is not only the best moveset combination in Gyms, but also for PVP battles!
I noticed something else too. Some of my moves were highlighted in green. Turns out, that means they get a bonus because they’re the same type as Zamazenta. They do like, 20% more damage, which is pretty sweet!
Final Thoughts
So yeah, if you’re looking to wreck stuff with Zamazenta, go with Snarl and Close Combat. Trust me, I spent a good chunk of time trying everything else, and this is the combo that consistently performed the best. I feel very satisfied my final results.
