Is Zamazenta too good for OU?

With Zamazenta surging in usage in the past months and hearing discussions about the state of the Pokémon, I figured it was time to talk about if the Iron Defense + Body Press simulator is too good for OU. Some of the standout points include its high stats - most notably its speed - good coverage moves and high attack to cover Pokémon who resist Body Press, and good utilization of Substitute to beat Pokémon that otherwise could counter it. Let's dive into this Pokémon and what arguments could be made to get it banned or let it stay.

Honestly why didn't GF give him bulk up? It's thematically fit and would end this pointless OU debate immediately imo.

[@Mr502]

Agreed

[@EpicCD56]

you have a cool style, i think with some editing polishes you could be a really solid pokemon content creator, enjoyed this!

[@Mr502]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it.

[@philliam_]

Wait bro cooked with this video

[@TheRedStinger82]

Zamazenta is having a huge glow up. If you saw the Stockholm regionals, you would know why

[@Mr502]

Seriously! It’s rise to dominance in singles and doubles from last gen is incredible.

[@nabilbaroudi5457]

720 base stat when coming. Yeah its an Uber...

[@marcofasulo5785]

I do think zammy is op but in order for it to be effective, you need to have good mons to clear out those direct counters. Otherwise its kinda usless...

[@dwise23710]

Every time I see Zam at team preview I get mad lol that sub set kills me

[@Mr502]

Been running three checks + counters on every team for it lol

[@nathanieljones8043]

Yeah duh they gave him the move that was supposed to be his last gen body press so he van finally do damage.
