Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I don't see Magic Mirror much and when I do I lead with Forretress. They switch in Espeon (or Xatu) and I Volt Switch. That really limits the usefulness of Magic Mirror. Just for the record, that's also how I Start battles against Taunt leads :D
I think Natu just got even better in Little Cup. Pluck + Eviolite + Magic Bounce will probably make Natu a force to be reckoned with. Add to that, it was already good in Generation IV...
Having played around with Magic Bounce and it being almost a staple of every successful team I've made I've honestly found Xatu being the superior user of it. MB Espeon at best is good as a BP receiver and sweeper but not as a pivot or support or anti-lead. Xatu simply has more reliable support/healing and better bulk and typing overall. I mean good god I've made use of Xatu in even Ubers out tanking GROUDON of all things.
