Have either of the Darmanitan forms ever had an instance where Zen Mode was used over their normal abilities?

Title explains it well. Has Zen Mode ever had a niche over Sheer Force/Gorilla Tactics at any point in competitive? This includes battle facilities and in-game VGC and ranked battles.

Unovan Darmanitan is always using sheer force in every single smogon recommended set.

These are:

Gen 5 UUGen 5 OUVGC12VGC11DW OUGen 6 UUGen 6 MonotypeGen 7 UUGen 7 1v1Gen 8 RUGen 8 1v1

So, unovan zen mode darmanitan…kinda sucks.

Galarian Zen mode Darmanitan actually has SOMETHING.

These are the formats where it is actually used

Gen 8 UbersGen 8 1v1Gen 8 BH

So, overall, the zen mode gang is not very good, however, galarian zen mode darm has a smol niche in two formats, and unovan in one.
