Choice Scarf Magnemite has received a surge in usage recently, being a powerful offensive pivot that can to use its strong Special Attack to force switches and then punish the foe with an Analytic-boosted attack, while pivoting with Volt Switch to both bring a teammate in safely and grab momentum, making it a great partner for frailer Pokemon like Wingull and Diglett. After wearing down the opposing team, Magnemite can start to function as a cleaner, as its Choice Scarf lets it outspeed the unboosted metagame, letting it easily pick off the opposing team with a strong Thunderbolt or Flash Cannon. Hidden Power Ground rounds off Magnemite's coverage, as it hits Chinchou and opposing Magnemite super effectively, which resist Magnemite's STAB moves. Magnemite hates seeing Ground-types and Chinchou, as they impede with its ability to freely pivot, so Grass-types like Snivy and Foongus make for invaluable partners, with Foongus also able to deal with Fighting-types. Water-types like Staryu and Corphish can beat Ground- and Fire-types. Fighting-types threaten Magnemite, especially Timburr and Croagunk, which both carry priority, so checks to them like Vullaby, Doduo, and Abra are welcome.

Magnemite has plenty of resistances, giving it a lot of opportunities to switch in on weak resisted hits and pressure the opponent.

Not the scarf set. You can mention it's typing and how it benefits it, but scarf mag still doesn't like switching into much.

Magnemite hates seeing Ground-types and Chinchou, as they impede with its ability to freely spam Volt Switch, so Grass-types like Snivy and Foongus make for invaluable partners

Mention water types in a similar vein to this, as they generally beat grounds more reliably and handle things like ponyta.

Cut and dry a pretty easy pokemon to write about, so not many things to change. Well done!

QC 1/1
