Zamazenta (Japanese: ザマゼンタ Zamazenta) is a Fighting-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Zamazenta has a second form activated by giving it a Rusted Shield to hold. Its original form, Hero of Many Battles, will then become the dual-type Fighting/Steel Crowned Shield.

Zamazenta is the game mascot of Pokémon Shield, appearing on its boxart in its Crowned Shield form. It is a member of the legendary heroes with Zacian.

It is associated with Eternatus, playing a role in stopping the Darkest Day.

Biology

Zamazenta's dormant state (left)

In its Hero of Many Battles form, Zamazenta is a large magenta lupine Pokémon with yellow eyes, a bulky frame, and a ponytail on its head. Its tail and ponytail are a deep blue; it also has deep blue accents on its neck and forelimbs. Its body is covered in battle scars and part of its right ear is missing. Its head and neck have thick fur resembling a shield.

It is believed to be the younger sibling or the rival of Zacian. In the past, Zamazenta was feared and respected by the people of Galar. It worked together with the two ancient kings of the region to save it from Eternatus's Darkest Day. It can turn itself into a statue and slumber for eons. Zamazenta can also cast illusions, including a projection of itself, even as a statue. Additionally, it is capable of flying. Even though it is not capable of Dynamaxing, Zamazenta may still go berserk when bombarded by Dyanamax energy.

Zamazenta is also the only known Pokémon that can have Dauntless Shield as an Ability.

Forms

Zacian and Zamazenta in the Slumbering Weald

Zacian and Zamazenta in their Crowned Forms

Zamazenta has two forms: Hero of Many Battles and Crowned Shield.

Zamazenta can change to its Crowned Shield form in battle by wielding the Rusted Shield and absorbing metal particles in the air. The Crowned Shield form causes Zamazenta to generate a set of golden armor covering the front of its body like a shield; although the side portions normally cover its forelimbs, they can slide forward to allow Zamazenta to use Behemoth Bash or protect itself from frontal attacks more effectively. Its ponytail also grows to cover most of its backside.

Crowned Shield is said to be Zamazenta's true form, and it is at its full power in this form. It has the ability to deflect any attacks with the shield that serves as its mane. When together with Zacian in their Crowned forms, it cancels out the power of Eternatus, even in its Eternamax state.

Zamazenta's regal and majestic movements enable it to overwhelm opponents who face off against it. Zamazenta uses its golden shield to fend off attacks and as a weapon. The shield has tremendous strength, capable of withstanding scratches from the sharp claws of Dragon-type Pokémon and attacks from Dynamax Pokémon. Its resolve does not falter, and it charges at its enemies head on. By bashing with its full might, it is said that Zamazenta's power can cause cracks in the land, and that the resulting shockwaves can knock out hundreds of enemies. According to legends, in this form, it was known as the "Fighting Master's Shield" due to its Typing and shield.

Crowned Shield Zamazenta is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Behemoth Bash. By using Behemoth Bash, it is said to be able to bore holes through mountains.^[1]
