\"Zamazenta
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Zamazenta<\/strong> is a legendary shield wolf from the Galar region, making its debut in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em><\/a> in August 2021.<\/p>\n

Like fellow Sword and Shield<\/em> legendary Zacian<\/a>, Zamazenta notably has two different forms. Its plain \u201cHero of Many Battles\u201d version is only fighting-type, whereas it gains a steel-typing with its \u201cCrowned Shield\u201d form. The Crowned Shield version of Zamazenta is not yet available in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> yet, so this guide will only provide information on its \u201cHero of Many Battles\u201d form until it gets added to the game.<\/p>\n

This guide explains Zamazenta\u2019s weakness and the best counters as it returns as part of the Max Out Finale event, which runs from Nov. 27 to Dec. 1, 2024.<\/p>\n

Zamazenta weakness<\/h2>\n

In its \u201cHero of Many Battles\u201d form, Zamazenta is a pure fighting-type Pok\u00e9mon, which means it\u2019s weak against fairy-, flying-, and psychic-type moves<\/strong>. Focus on these when building your team to dish out super-effective damage.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Zamazenta is resistant <\/strong>to bug-, dark-, and rock-type moves. Avoid using these types where possible, as they\u2019ll deal reduced damage and won\u2019t be very effective.<\/p>\n
