Thanks to its great Speed tier and coverage, Belly Drum Magby is a menacing setup sweeper in LC. Magby usually only sets up behind dual screens, but it may find opportunities to use Belly Drum against foes like Foongus, whose Spore is blocked by Vital Spirit. Mach Punch allows Magby to deal with would-be revenge killers like Diglett, Onix, and Sucker Punch Pawniard, while Thunder Punch eliminates checks like Mareanie. Screens support from Natu or Aurora Veil Amaura is necessary for consistently setting up against troublesome foes like Vullaby and Mienfoo; Memento from Diglett is similarly appreciated. Entry hazard support from Focus Sash Ferroseed and Pawniard, which are found on hyper offense teams with Magby, can put foes like Onix and Timburr into KO range.

It finds opportunities to use Belly Drum against common foes like Foongus, which it can safely set up on due to Vital Spirit ignoring Spore.

I would prefer this gets reworked to incorporate relying on screens to set up, eg 'Magby usually only can set up behind Screens, but may find opportunities against Foongus.' or w.e

Mach Punch allows Magby to deal with would-be revenge killers like Diglett, Onix, and Sucker Punch Pawniard, while Thunder Punch eliminates its checks like Mareanie and Frillish.

Frillish is close to irrelevant, just remove it

all good king qc 1/1
