Magearna @ Assault Vest
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Fleur Cannon
- Iron Head / Flash Cannon / Ice Beam
- Hidden Power Fire
- Volt Switch
Assault Vest is Magearna's most common set due to how extremely potent it is as an offensive pivot thanks to its access to high-Base Power moves and a great offensive and defensive typing; on top of that, it also has very solid bulk, which is furthered by Assault Vest. Its ability to blanket check almost every single special attacker when coupled with an Assault Vest makes it an especially useful Pokemon to teams that may be weak to Pokemon like Ash-Greninja and Gengar. Contrary to most pivots, Magearna is capable of gaining momentum instead of sacrificing it thanks to its access to Volt Switch. . While its defensive typing is very potent, it does leave it weak to common Fire-types like Volcarona and Blacephalon and leaves it vulnerable to the many good Ground-types in the tier. Fortunately, it can work around these Ground-types with its access to Ice Beam.
