[SET COMMENTS]
Magmar is a solid offensive presence with its powerful Special Attack, great Speed, and perfect coverage options. Focus Blast hits common switch-ins to Fire Blast like Gigalith and Scraggy. Hidden Power Ice OHKOes Vibrava while also being a safer move to pick off weakened Grass- and Ground-types like Servine and Hippopotas. Hidden Power Grass is an alternative option to 2HKO Water- and Ground-types like Marshtomp, Simipour, and Krokorok. Toxic is a safer move for crippling common switch-ins that Magmar struggles against, like Carbink, Politoed, and Pignite. However, Flame Charge can be used instead to give Magmar the ability to act as an late-game cleaner, since it can outspeed fast attackers and Choice Scarf users like Furfrou and Krokorok, respectively. Vital Spirit is preferred over Flame Body to switch in against Sleep Powder from Jumpluff and Yawn from Meowstic; burning foes with Flame Body isn't typically worth the potential damage Magmar takes, since it already gets chipped enough with entry hazards.

Magmar does well on balance or offensive teams looking for a special attacker that can take down a lot of popular walls like Dustox, Klang, and Meganium. Water-types like Simipour and Frogadier appreciate Magmar's ability to threaten these walls, since they struggle to take them down. In return, they can weaken Gigalith and Carbink for Magmar. Entry hazard removers like Vibrava and Dustox are appreciated as teammates to give Magmar more opportunities to enter the field. These removal options often use U-turn against targets that Magmar preys on like Bronzor and Ivysaur. Magmar is outsped and OHKOed by Frogadier and Simipour, which the likes of Duosion, Seaking, and Politoed can help switch into. Fast attackers like Simisage and Furfrou can help make up for Magmar's lack of Speed. Defensive pivot Duosion can shrug off Magmar's attacks and doesn't mind Toxic, so teammates like Scraggy and Klang are needed to help take it on. Magmar really wants to be paired with Carbink or Hippopotas, since Pignite switches into Magmar easily on and can hit it hard with STAB Superpower.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Magmar can run Psychic as its last move on its all-out attacker set to catch Pignite off guard, but dropping Toxic loses out on the ability to cripple Politoed and Carbink. Hidden Power Steel is a very niche pick to KO Carbink, but removing a coverage option for a move that hits one Pokemon is less than ideal.

Checks and Counters
===================
**Rock-types**: Magmar can't do much against Carbink aside from hitting it with Toxic, which it can use Rest to heal off. However, Carbink does have to be wary of switching in against a Choice Specs Hidden Power Grass if it is not at full health. Gigalith can switch into a Choice-locked Fire-type move or Psychic, but it struggles against everything else.

**Water-types**: All Water-types do not take a Choice Specs Hidden Power Grass well at all, since all but Politoed are OHKOed after Stealth Rock damage. However, Politoed can take attacks from other sets quite well, but does have to watch out for Toxic because Leftovers is its only form of recovery. Simipour and Frogadier can switch into an attack and threaten to OHKO Magmar back; however, they have to be wary of Choice Scarf sets because they can be 2HKOed by Fire Blast after Stealth Rock.

**Pignite**: All-out attacker Magmar is greatly threatened by Pignite, since it can only really threaten it with Toxic. Choice Specs Magmar can OHKO Pignite with Psychic after Stealth Rock damage, as well as 2HKOing it with Focus Blast. Choice Scarf Magmar has to catch Pignite with Psychic, or it will be forced to switch out.

**Neutral Special Walls**: Duosion and Dusclops easily take on Magmar's attacks while not being bothered by Toxic. However, Duosion is at risk of being 2HKOed by Choice Specs Fire Blast if Stealth Rock is up.

**Fast Attackers**: Persian, Simisage, and Choice Scarf Krokorok can take out non-Choice Scarf Magmar after some chip damage. Choice Scarf users like Electabuzz, Frogadier, and Sawsbuck can outspeed even Choice Scarf Magmar.

Magmar is a solid offensive presence with its powerful Special Attack, great Speed, and perfect coverage options. Fire Blast does well into a plethora of popular Pokemon like Servine, Bronzor, and Dustox. filler Focus Blast hits common switch-ins to Fire Blast like Gigalith and Scraggy. Hidden Power Ice OHKOes Vibrava, while also being a safer move to pick off weakened Grass- and Ground-types mention examples of these Grass-types and Ground-types. Hidden Power Grass is an alternative option to hit Water-types like Marshtomp and Simipour for big damage does HP Grass reach any notable damage ranges? Also mention it still hits Ground-types for super effective damage. Toxic is a safer move for crippling common switch-ins that Magmar struggles against, like Carbink, Politoed, and Pignite. Although, Flame Charge can be used instead to give Magmar the ability to act as an endgame cleaner since it can outspeed fast attackers and Choice Scarf users like Furfrou and Krokorok, respectively. Vital Spirit is preferred over Flame Body to switch in against Sleep Powder from Jumpluff + getting the burn with Flame Body isn't worth the potential damage Magmar takes since it already gets chipped enough with entry hazards.

Magmar is outsped and OHKOed Frogadier and Simipour, which the likes of Servine, Gogoat, and Ivysaur can help switch into. I'd also include including special walls like Duosion or Water-types like Politoed/Seaking since LO Frog can 2HKO Grass-types on the switch with a predicted Ice Beam from LO Frogadier. You could also include another sentence that has faster attackers/revenge killers to help circumvent Magmar's good but not great Speed and lacking defensive profile Defensive Pivot Duosion can shrug off Magmar's attacks and doesn't mind Toxic, so teammates like Scraggy and Klang are needed to help take it on. Magmar really wants to be paired with Carbink or Hippopotas since Pignite switches in easily on Magmar and can hit hard with STAB Superpower.

Other Options
=============
Magmar can run Psychic as its last move on its All-Out Attacker set to catch Pignite off guard, but dropping Toxic loses out on the ability to cripple Politoed and Carbink. Seismic Toss can be used for consistent damage against most switch ins, particularly those that it doesn't do much damage against, like the aforementioned Politoed and Carbink, as well as Pignite. However, losing out on a coverage move makes its role as a breaker much worse. I'm honestly not a fan in Seismic Toss being OO, it does marginally more damage than HP Grass against Carbink and doesn't even 2HKO it after Stealth Rock. You also lose out on Toxic crippling Politoed, Carbink, and Gigalith this way too Hidden Power Steel is a very niche pick to drop Carbink, but removing a coverage option for a move that hits one Pokemon is less than ideal.

Checks and Counters
===================
**Rock-types**: Magmar can't do much against Carbink aside from hitting it with Toxic, which it can use Rest to heal off. However, Carbink does have to be aware of coming in against a Choice Specs Hidden Power Grass if it is not at full health. Gigalith can switch into a Choice locked Fire move or Psychic, but struggles into everything else.

**Water-types**: All Water-types do not take a Choice Specs Hidden Power Grass well at all, since all but Politoed are OHKOed after Stealth Rock damage. However, Politoed can take attacks from other sets quite well, but does have to watch out for Toxic since Leftovers is its only form of recovery. Simipour and Frogadier can switch into an attack and threaten to OHKO back, however they have to be aware of Choice Scarf sets since they can 2HKO them with Fire Blast after Stealth Rock. Whiscash and Marshstomp Marshtomp can switch in and take even a Choice Specs Fire Blast quite well, however, they fold to Hidden Power Grass.

**Pignite**: All-Out Attacker Magmar is greatly threatened by Pignite since it can only really threaten it with Toxic. Choice Specs Magmar can OHKO Pignite if it catches it with a Psychic after Stealth Rock damage, as well as 2HKOing with Focus Blast. Choice Scarf Magmar has to catch Pignite with Psychic, or it will be forced to switch out.

**Neutral Special Walls**: Duosion and Dusclops easily take on Magmar's attacks, while not being bothered by Toxic. Although, Duosion is at risk of being 2HKOed by Choice Specs Fire Blast if Stealth Rock is up.

Mention faster attackers like Sawsbuck, Electabuzz, and Simisage, since those Pokemon can take it out with some prior damage, especially with residual damage. Choice Scarf varants of these Pokemon can also outspeed Choice Scarf Magmar too.

Hidden Power Steel is a very niche pick to drop Carbink, but removing a coverage option for a move that hits one Pokemon is less than ideal.

Seismic Toss is another, arguably less niche, option to hit Carbink and doesn't give up Hidden Power coverage. It's also a midground to cover Pignite, Seaking, and other Water-types if HP Ice is used.
