Is Zacian or Zamazenta (hero of many battles) better defensively?

Question says it all. Zacian and Zamazenta in regular form have the same stats, but different typing and movesets.

Zamazenta-H is the better option for a defensive Pokemon, but you really shouldn’t be using either defensively. Zacian-H’s bulk is rather unremarkable, it doesn’t wall anything really important in the tier, and has zero defensive moves, while Zamazenta-Crowned has better bulk and Dauntless Shield but its defensive movepool is still ****. Necrozma-Dusk Mane is much, much better, with its good defensive typing, Prism Armor, and incredibly defensive utility options, while Eternatus can lay Toxic Spikes and possesses other nice utility such as Dragon Tail and Mystical Fire. Yveltal can stave off the incredibly dangerous Calyrex-Shadow, and has reliable recovery as well as Defog.

This is how you’re supposed to use them:Zacian-Hero @ Choice BandAbility: Intrepid SwordEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature
