Magnezone @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Thunderbolt
- Toxic / Substitute
Magnezone operates as a great support teammate to trap Steel-type walls, mainly Corviknight, Skarmory, and Ferrothorn. It can take out the former two thanks to Magnet Pull and Thunderbolt, which allows Pokemon like Rillaboom, Garchomp, and Tapu Lele to thrive. It can also use Iron Defense to strengthen Body Press and take out checks in Ferrothorn and Blissey, as well as becoming more able to take physical hits from Melmetal and Bisharp before retaliating with a boosted Body Press. Toxic wears down troubling Ground-types in Garchomp and Landorus-T that counter Magnezone rather comfortably. Substitute can also be used to further exploit Steel-types to give Magnezone an extra hit off on whatever comes in to revenge kill it. Iron Defense Magnezone does not have many other uses in a battle and mainly acts as a way to trap and remove Steel-types to allow its teammates to shine.
