[SET COMMENTS]
Magnezone is a bulky Choice Specs user that serves as a wallbreaker for Electric teams, since its ability Analytic boosts its moves’ damage against faster foes and punishes switches made by Fairy-type Pokemon. Flash Cannon hits Fairy- and Ice-type threats like Hatterene, Clefable, Frosmoth, and Alolan Ninetales, which are forced out due to Magnezone’s decent bulk and their inability to set up on it. Tri Attack is used to hit Pokemon that resist Magnezone’s STAB moves, a prime example being Thundurus-T. Thunder guarantees an OHKO Empoleon and Toxapex in rain. Volt Switch is a must-have move, as it allows Magnezone to pivot out of a predicted switch-in like Heatran.
Rotom-W is an outstanding teammate for Magnezone, as it is immune to Ground-type attacks and has access to Hydro Pump to check Ground- and Fire-type threats such as Ursaluna-B, Great Tusk, and Volcarona. Sandy Shocks supports Magnezone by setting entry hazards while also hitting Fire- and Steel-type threats like Heatran, Gholdengo, and Archaludon with its Ground-type STAB moves. Zapdos can scare off Fighting-types such as Iron Valiant, Great Tusk, and Iron Defense Zamazenta. After a Swords Dance, Iron Hands can take care of Ting-Lu and Hisuian Goodra, which would both wall Magnezone. Pawmot is another supporting teammate that can help break said walls while also getting rid of Chien-Pao and Kingambit with Mach Punch; it can also provide massive support with Revival Blessing. Raging Bolt’s Thunderclap helps remove Barraskewda, Urshifu-R, and Keldeo from the playing field, which are all major threats to Magnezone if not dealt with quickly. In return, Magnezone can help get rid of Fairy-type threats for Raging Bolt such as Clefable and Hatterene. Galvantula helps slow down Pokemon for Magnezone with Sticky Web. Regieleki can remove hazards for Magnezone with Rapid Spin while also taking out fast threats like Flutter Mane with Wild Charge.
