Two moves is all this Magearna set needs to blitz past teams in Mix and Mega! Shift Gear Pinsirite Magearna is a potent lure set on balance teams and sweeper on hyper offense teams that takes advantage of Ground-types pivoting in expecting to check it. Physically offensive Magearna sets are rare due to its low base Attack stat; however, in Mix and Mega, Magearna receives huge boosts to its Attack and Speed stats thanks to Pinsirite. Furthermore, Magearna's newly-added Flying typing uses the likes of Landorus-T and Groudon as setup fodder. Shift Gear's Attack boost is put to good use, as it further bolsters the power of its already strong Aerilate-boosted Last Resort. Due to the lack of sturdy Flying-resistant checks, Magearna sweeps are easily facilitated by teammates such as Galarian Zapdos, Xerneas, and Regieleki wearing down shared checks such as Solgaleo and Manectite Mew. Magnezone is a notably good partner that traps and removes Steel-types that otherwise check Magearna. The given spread outspeeds Lopunnite Zeraora after Shift Gear.
