[SET]
name: Specially Defensive
move 1: Thunderbolt

nature: Calm
evs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD

[SET COMMENTS]

<p>Due to the fact that Magneton has more resistances than any other Pokemon in the game, as well as being able to utilize Eviolite, it has the ability to run a very sturdy tank set. Essentially sporting defenses of 304 / 339 / 393, it makes an excellent check to hail teams, being able to comfortably wall Pokemon such as Rotom-F due to its resistance to BoltBeam, and it's one of the very few Pokemon that isn't 2HKOed by a Choice Specs Glaceon's Blizzard. Magneton's specially defensive capabilities are so impressive that it's not OHKOed by a Life Orb Moltres's Flamethrower even after Stealth Rock, and Magneton easily OHKOes with Thunderbolt in return.</p>

<p>Thunderbolt is Magneton's most powerful and reliable attack and is a staple on this set, as it excels at taking down bulky Water-types. Flash Cannon is a secondary STAB move that has good coverage in conjunction with Thunderbolt, only missing out on Steelix, Ferroseed, and opposing Electric-types. It's also crucial as it gives Magneton a way to OHKO Glaceon and Jynx and 2HKO Rotom-F. RestTalk, while normally an unreliable strategy, is Magneton's only method of recovery, but due to great bulk and its massive slew of resistances, Magneton pulls it off remarkably well. Analytic is the ability of choice on this set, as without Special Attack investment, Magneton doesn't hit particularly hard. However, with Analytic, Magneton has the equivalent of 360 Special Attack, higher than even Timid Moltres, if it moves second that is.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>The EVs are rather straightforward, maximizing Magneton's specially defensive capabilities. This set absolutely thrives on proper team support. Alomomola is an excellent partner, being able to easily take on powerful physical attackers, such as Entei and Emboar, while also being able to pass Magneton massive Wishes, especially since Magneton sports resistances to the Grass- and Electric-type moves often aimed at it. This also means that Magneton doesn't need to be as reliant on Rest and Sleep Talk. Uxie is another phenomenal partner, easily tanking the Ground- and Fighting-type moves aimed at Magneton. Furthermore, it can provide Magneton with Heal Bell support should Magneton have already used Rest. Misdreavus is in the same boat as Uxie, and can also provide Will-O-Wisp support so that Magneton will face weaker physical attacks.</p>

<p>Magnet Pull is still a useful ability on Magneton, but generally speaking, this set needs the additional damage output provided by Analytic in order to defeat the threats it's supposed to be dealing with. That said, should your team have massive issues with Escavalier, Ferroseed, or Klinklang, Magneton can feasibly run Magnet Pull together with Hidden Power Fire over Flash Cannon in order to safely eliminate them. Hidden Power Fire also maintains super effective coverage on the Ice-types found on hail teams. Volt Switch is an appealing move on a defensive pivot such as Magneton, but you don't want to accidentally reset your sleep timer, and it's only really an option if you pack a solid cleric. Finally, Magneton can run a Sassy nature with 0 Speed IVs should you want to be able to hit a wider range of Pokemon harder with Analytic boosted attacks, but Magneton has above average Speed for a tank and it would be a shame to waste it, and the reduced Speed means that Magneton would miss out on Poliwrath, Tangrowth, and some Rhydon variants.</p>


Huh it was fun writing up an analysis again~

 

[Molk]

Be sure to stress just how much Magneton loves Wish support, although Magneton's really bulky and has quite a few resistances, the lack of leftovers recovery can be quite an annoyance at times, and Wish support gives Magneton another method of recovery to make up for that. Plus, Magneton's HP stat is relatively low, so a wish from say Alomomola will often almost fully heal it, which is always excellent. (I know you already mentioned Wish in the AC, i just think it'd be a good idea to emphasize just good it is with this set).

I'd give Hidden Power Fire a mention in either the AC or as a secondary slash with Flash Cannon, it makes maggy an even better check to Escavalier, even without magnet pull, while preserving coverage vs Glaceon and hitting Rotom-f harder than both Thunderbolt and Flash Cannon, just a thought.

QC Approved 1/3

cool set :)

 

[Oglemi]

yeah when i was playing with specs maggy i found myself really liking its resistances and wish it had some more bulk. this doesn't have quite the power of specs maggy but it's so much bulkier giving it a niche.

[Cherub Agent]

thank youuu
written up ^.^

 

[complete legitimacy]

Life Orb Sceptile isn't OHKOed at all after Stealth Rock by Flash Cannon.

Calc

4 SpA Analytic Magneton Flash Cannon vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Sceptile: 151-178 (53.54 - 63.12%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

Thunderbolt + Flash Cannon does miss out on all Electric-types; while the examples you have are fine, just say "Electric-types such as Lanturn and Rotom, as well as Steelix and Ferroseed."

4 Special Attack Analytic Magneton actually has the equivalent of 360 Special Attack.

I'd mention that Misdreavus is a good partner because it has good synergy, has Heal Bell, and can use Will-O-Wisp to make physical attackers less threatening to Magneton.

Mention that if you use Sassy with a 0 Speed IV you miss out on a lot of key walls that Magneton can easily beat like Poliwrath, Tangrowth, and most Rhydon.

<p>Due to the fact that Magneton has more resistances than any other Pokemon in the game, as well as not being fully evolved, which means that it can useusing Eviolite to boost its defull potensestial, it has the ability to run a very sturdy tank set. Essentially sporting defenses of 304 / 339 / 393, this makes it an excellent check to Hail teams, being able to comfortably wall Pokemon such as Rotom-F due to its BoltBeam resistance, and it´'s one of the very few Pokemon that isn't 2HKOd by a Choice Specs Glaceon's Blizzard. It's special defensive capabilities are so impressive that it's not OHKOd by a Life Orb Moltres's Flamethrower even after Stealth Rock, and Magneton easily OHKOs with Thunderbolt in return.</p>

<p>Thunderbolt is Magneton's most powerful, yet reliable, attack and is a staple on this set, as it excels at taking down bulky Water-types thanks to its special bulk. Flash Cannon is aits secondary STAB move that has good coverage in conjunction with Thunderbolt, only missing out on Steelix, Ferroseed, and oposing Electric-types. It's also crucial as it gives Magneton a wayccess to OHKO Glaceon and Jynx, and 2HKO Rotom-F. ResTalk, while normally an unreliable strategy, is Magneton's only method of recovery, but due to its great bulk and its massive slew of resistances, Magneton pulls it off remarkably well. Analytic is the ability of choice on this set, as without sSpecial aAttack investment, Magneton doesn't hit as hard as one would expect. With Analytic however, Magneton has the equivalent of 360 Special Attack, one point more than a fully invested neutral natured base 130 SpA Pokemon.</p>

[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]

<p>The EVs are rather straightforward, maximizing Magneton's specially defensive capabilities. This Magneton set absoutely thrives on proper team support. Alomomola is an excellent partner, being able to easily take on powerful pshysical attackers such as Entei and Emboar with ease, while also being able to pass Magneton massive Wishes, especialy since Magneton sports resistances to the Grass- and Electric-type moves often targeted at the moonfish. This also means that Magneton doesn't need to be so reliant on Rest and Sleep Talk. Uxie is another phenomenal partner, easily tanking the Ground- and Fighting-type moves aimed at Magneton. Furthermore, it can provide Magneton with Heal Bell support, should Magneton have already used Rest. Misdreavus is in the same boat as Uxie, and can also provide Will-o-Wisp support so that Magneton can take physical hits better.</p>

<p>Magnet Pull is still an excellent ability on Magneton, but generally speaking, this set needs the additional damage output provided by Analytic in order to OHKO the threats it's supposed to be dealing with.

and means that Magneton would miss out on Poliwrath, Tangrowth and some Rhydon variants.

Since i was too slow at amchecking this, this could be worded better as: and the reduced speed means that Magneton would miss out on Poliwrath, Tangrowth and some Rhydon variants.
