Moveset analysis
In Master League it runs Quick Attack and Close Combat. PvP movesets favour energy generation and shield pressure over raw damage, which is why they often differ from the raid set.
The highest-damage fast move is Metal Claw (12 DPS); Ice Fang builds energy fastest (13.3 EPS).

Zamazenta does not rank as a raid attacker, but it holds a Tier C spot at #31 in Master League. Build it to the league's CP cap rather than to a level, and unlock the second charged move before you invest further.
- Attack is its highest stat (254), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 100,000 Dust and 100 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Cloudy and Snow weather — worth timing raids around.
