Magnemite is a powerful Choice Scarf user, capable of capitalizing on switches it forces with the combination of its high Special Attack, STAB Volt Switch, and Analytic. Tera Blast in combination with Tera Ice gives Magnemite STAB on the BoltBeam combination, letting it hit common checks such as Toedscool, Diglett, and Wattrel for super effective damage. Alternatively, Tera Steel makes Flash Cannon a much more spammable attack and turns Steel Beam into a nuke. A Modest nature is preferred to improve damage rolls, especially with an Analytic boost; a Timid nature is an alternative to ensure Magnemite outspeeds Speed-boosted foes like Choice Scarf Gothita and Quaxly after a Rapid Spin. Ground-types like opposing Toedscool, Diglett, and Mudbray are the biggest threats to Magnemite; Pokemon like Toedscool and Shellos that can check Ground-types make good teammates. Magnemite can form a powerful VoltTurn core with other pivot move users such as Larvesta and Nymble. Frail attackers such as Wingull appreciate Magnemite bringing them in safely with Volt Switch.

Magnemite is a powerful Choice Scarf user, capable of capitalizing on switches it forces with the combination of its high Special Attack, STAB Volt Switch, (AC) and Analytic. Tera Blast in combination with an Ice Tera Type gives Magnemite STAB on the BoltBeam combination, letting it OHKO Ground-types such as Toedscool and Diglett. Alternatively, Tera Steel makes Flash Cannon a much more spammable attack and turns Steel Beam into a nuke. A Modest nature is preferred to improve damage rolls, especially with an Analytic boost; a Timid nature is an alternative to ensure Magnemite outspeeds Speed-boosted foes like Choice Scarf Gothita and Quaxly after a Rapid Spin. Opposing Ground-types like Toedscool, Diglett, (AC) and Mudbray are the biggest threats to Magnemite; teammates like Toedscool and Shellos that can check Ground-types make good teammates. Frail attackers such as Gastly and Nymble appreciate Magnemite bringing them in safely with Volt Switch. Entry hazard support from Glimmet and Pawniard helps Magnemite secure KOs.

On a more QC note, I would really suggest changing the Steel Tera type to Flying; Steel isn't really worth it imo, and Flying is just so important, Diglett is an extremely common Pokemon, and not being able to ever risk clicking an Electric-move (which is a huge deal when Volt Switch alone is most of Magnemite's value) just sucks. IMO if you're not using Tera Ice, you have to be using Flying to not lose to Quaxly/Mareanie+Diglett cores. I still like Steel Beam on Tera Flying though.

Tera Blast in combination with an Ice Tera Type gives Magnemite STAB on the BoltBeam combination, letting it OHKO Ground-types such as Toedscool and Diglett.(I would mention Wattrel too; it blocks Volt Switch and resists Flash Cannon) Alternatively, Tera Steel makes Flash Cannon a much more spammable attack and turns Steel Beam into a nuke.

Frail attackers such as Gastly and Nymble appreciate Magnemite bringing them in safely with Volt Switch.(I would mention other VoltTurn partners and how they synergize with these frail attackers that you mentioned) Entry hazard support from Glimmet and Pawniard help Magnemite secure KOs. (Give some rolls or remove this completely; everything benefits from entry hazard support)

QC 1/1. [DC, 449990] This is fine to proceed with one check
