Well I'm busy testing a whole bunch of sets, seeing if they are any good, and I was brainstorming about Magmortar... what could you do to make it better than Heatran? Here is my result. Read on!
Weavile (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/4 SDef
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- Pursuit
- Ice Shard
- Brick Break
This guy prevents those Suicide leads from setting down Stealth Rock, killing Azelf with a Fake Out + Pursuit combo, and killing Aerodactyl with a Fake Out + Ice Shard combo. Makes good revenge killer for DDmence and DDtar.
Keeping the Stealth Rocks at bay is very important when using Magmortar, as it takes 25% from them every switch in.
Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 208 HP/88 Def/36 Spd/176 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Sludge Bomb
- Surf
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
Tentacruel helps contain Infernape and Heatran outbreaks. Rapid Spin is for if Weavile didn't do it's job, and my opponent got down the rocks. Surf is for STAB, Sludge Bomb and Liquid Ooze is for Celebi.
Toxic Spikes is very important here, because it discourages switching somewhat. One of my opponent's avoided Magmortar by switching constantly until Sandstorm wore me down, which was really lame. The extra residual damage also helps Dragonite set up on stuff too; with a combination of Light Screen and Roost, he's hard to take down, and the Toxic eats away at his counters.
Rotom-H @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 240 HP/44 Def/224 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Overheat
- Trick / HP ICE
My answer for Lucario, Scizor, Metagross and more. Trick is to ditch that scarf and get Leftovers from someone. Hidden Power Ice could be used to revenge Flygon or Salamence. Everything else is standard, except I ran a bit more defense so I can take on Gyarados easier.
Magmortar (M) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 152 Atk/244 Spd/112 SAtk
Mild nature (+SAtk, -Def)
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Fire Blast
- Thunderbolt
The star of the show.
This thing has only a couple of counters, and the rest of the team does it's job to keep them subdued. Dragons are weakened by Stealth Rock, Weavile and Zapdos beatings. Swampert is slowly worn down by Celebi and Toxic Spikes. Once those are out of the way, I'm free to rip stuff up.
Focus Punch OHKOs Blissey and Heatran easily, which are the most common switch-ins to this Pokemon. Thunderbolt 2HKOs every Bulky Water that is weak to it. Suicune, Vaporeon, even Milotic fall to this powerful blow. Fire Blast is the wickedly powerful STAB move, which can actually OHKO any Celebi thanks to the Expert Belt. Did you know that Heatran will OHKO a 252/40 Celebi only half the time?
Anyways, this thing totally rapes everything. Substitute blocks status and helps me respond to my opponent's actions. If you guys doubt the awesomeness of "BUUUUUBURN" then I will post a link to some damage calculations. Give him a try today... there is no faster way to remove Heatran or Blissey, as he baits them like Oprah to a ham.
Damage Calculations
Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 240 HP/228 Def/40 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Grass Knot
- Recover
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock
Support Celebi. Helps soften up bulky waters into Magmortar killing range. Sets up the Stealth Rocks, required to get OHKOs on Blissey and Heatran. Thunder Wave for paralysis support. Recover is for recovery.
An efficient Pokemon, we all knew what it does already.
Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 248 HP/64 Atk/196 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Roost
- Dragon Dance
- Light Screen
- Dragon Claw
The only way you're taking this down is STAB Ice Fang or Toxic. Nothing else can defeat Light Screen Dragonite. After you set up the Screen, even Vaporeon's powerful Ice Beams are glancing off Dragonite's orange hide, doing less than 40% even when you're not Roosting.
Dragon Claw is the only attack required, as it is so stupidly easy to get 6 DDs, that even Steels will be taking a beating from it.

Weavile (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/4 SDef
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Fake Out
- Pursuit
- Ice Shard
- Brick Break
