All the weaknesses of Zamazenta and the best Pokémon tokens in Pokémon Go

The Ultra Unlock Part 3: Sword and Shield event features not only one new Legendary Pokémon, but two for Pokémon Go. The second is Zamazenta, the Hero of Many Battles, the Fighting and Shield-type version of the legendary Sword and Shield. This guide describes all of Zamazenta's weaknesses and the best Pokémon to counter them.



All the weak points of Zamazenta

Zamazenta is a Fighting-type Pokémon. It will be weak against Fairy, Flying and Psychic type attacks, but it is resistant against Beetle, Dark and Rock. Of the choices, all three are solid options. You will still have a more varied selection of Pokémon if you stick with Flying or Psychic-type Pokémon.

The best Pokémon against Zamazenta

The best Pokémon to use against Zamazenta will be Alakazam, Metagross, and Rayquaza.

Alakazam is a Psychic-type Pokémon, capable of dealing severe damage to Zamazenta with most of its moves. While it doesn't have the best defenses, it has exceptional attack power, making it an ideal choice for any raid team. The best move set to teach Alakazam is the Psycho Cut Fast Movement and Psychic Charged Moves and Future Sight.

Then we have Metagross, the Psychic and Steel type. Unlike Alakazam, Metagross has quite heavy defenses, making it a sturdy tank for fighting Zamazenta. He also has many Psychic-type moves that he can use during battle. For this battle, the best set of moves to teach Metagross will be the Zen Headbreaking and Psychic and Earthquake Charged Moves.



The last big recommendation we have is the legendary Dragon and Flying-type Pokémon, Rayquaza. While Rayquaza isn't the strongest legendary in PvP battles, it's a solid choice in PvE raids, and this is the perfect battle to make this Pokémon shine. The best move set to teach Rayquaza is quick moving air slash and hurricane charged moves and aerial ace.

You will need to create a team of six Pokémon for this battle, and these are the other Pokémon we suggest you add to your roster.


  • Espeon
  • gallade
  • gardevoir
  • Ho-oh
  • Latios
  • Lugia
  • Mewtwo
  • Moltres
  • Yveltal
  • Zapdos

Once you defeat Zamazenta in the five-star raid, you will be able to catch him. Unfortunately, a bright version of this Pokémon will not be available during the Ultra Sword and Shield Unlock event.
