[SET COMMENTS]
Magmar is one of the best offensive Pokemon in GSC NU. It can be difficult to wall without Ninetales due to its excellent coverage, letting it hit a lot of the tier quite hard. Magmar also brings decent defensive utility to its team thanks to its usable Special Defense, which means Magmar is notably only 4HKOed by Xatu's Psychic. Magmar is also quite fast for the tier, outpacing threats like Kingler and Hitmonlee. However, Magmar does face competition from other Fire-types that bring more to a team; Ninetales brings huge defensive potential, and Rapidash is an incredibly fast lead with Hypnosis. Magmar's STAB Fire Blast threatens to 2HKO a large portion of the tier, notably Xatu, and can be powered up even more with Charcoal. Thunder Punch damages Water-types such as Azumarill, Kingler, and Mantine quite hard and gives Magmar coverage for Flying-types without having to risk a Fire Blast miss. Alternatively, Magmar can run Thief over Thunder Punch on more offensive teams to help out its hard-hitting teammates by stealing valuable Leftovers from bulky Pokemon such as Dewgong. Hidden Power Grass is generally preferred over Cross Chop, since it hits Rock-types such as Sudowoodo, Pupitar, and Graveler hard; however, Cross Chop heavily threatens Dewgong, damages Wigglytuff and Dunsparce harder than Fire Blast, and has a chance to land a critical hit through the Normal-types' Curse boosts. Hidden Power Ground damages the best checks to Magmar in the tier and opposing Fire-types while also 2HKOing Chinchou after Spikes damage. Lastly, Sunny Day powers up Magmar's Fire Blast to a staggering degree, notably 2HKOing even the incredibly bulky Dewgong and lowering the power of Water moves aimed at Magmar. Sunny Day is best used alongside other offensive Fire-types such as Rapidash and Flareon.

Magmar pairs well with Water-types, most notably Chinchou, which beats the Water- and Fire-types that can beat Magmar one-on-one; in return, Magmar beats the Grass-types that wall Chinchou. Pokemon with Explosion or Self-Destruct such as Weezing and Sudowoodo can try to take out bulky Water- and Fire-types that give Magmar trouble. Magmar also pairs well with other fast offensive Pokemon such as Fearow, Xatu, and Primeape to overwhelm the opponent's defensive core with Spikes down, as they can force the defensive Pokemon to switch around and take chip damage, which can leave the opponent's team weakened enough to be cleaned up. Finally, Magmar makes for a very good recipient of Baton Pass, especially Growth passes from Flareon.
