Choice Specs Magmar is a threatening wallbreaker in ORAS ZU with its great offensive typing and wide coverage movepool. Fire Blast 2HKOes Bulk Up Scraggy and defensive pivot Duosion after Stealth Rock. Overheat is Magmar's strongest attack, able to OHKO specially defensive Meganium and bulky Servine, which Fire Blast does not. However, Overheat often forces Magmar to switch out the next turn because it can be used as setup fodder at -2. Focus Blast picks up the OHKO on Gigalith while also being a better neutral move against the Water-types and Vibrava. Psychic is specifically for Pignite, since it shrugs off all of Magmar's other moves. Hidden Power Grass can be used to OHKO Marshtomp and Whiscash, as well as 2HKOing Politoed after Stealth Rock damage. Hidden Power Ice is a more niche option instead if Magmar wants to catch Vibrava off guard and OHKO it, but Fire Blast can 2HKO it after some slight chip damage. Vital Spirit is preferred over Flame Body so it can switch in against Sleep Powder from Jumpluff and Yawn from Meowstic, although Flame Body has the niche of punishing U-turn from Dustox or Persian.

Magmar works well on teams looking for a special wallbreaker so that partners like Simipour, Servine, and Vanilluxe can sweep. Entry hazard removers like Vibrava and Dustox are appreciated as teammates to give Magmar more opportunities to enter the field, since they often pivot out against targets that Magmar preys on like Bronzor and Ivysaur. Magmar drops to any hit from Water-types like Politoed, Frogadier, and Simipour, so teammates like Servine, Meganium, and Gogoat are appreciated to handle them. Normal-resistant Pokemon like Gigalith, Carbink, and Lairon make good teammates, since they can take on Persian and Furfrou, which would otherwise easily take out Magmar. Specially defensive Swalot can take hits with ease and hit back hard with Earthquake, so Magmar appreciates being paired with the likes of Duosion and Lunatone to help switch into it. Revenge killers like Furfrou, Persian and Sawsbuck can pick it off without much difficulty, so teammates like Bronzor and Swalot do well at punishing them.

Choice Specs Magmar is a threatening breaker in ORAS ZU with its great offensive typing and wide coverage movepool. Fire Blast 2HKOes Bulk Up Scraggy and Defensive Pivot Duosion after Stealth Rock. Overheat is Magmar's nuke button, able to OHKO Special Defensive Meganium and Bulky Servine, whereas Fire Blast would not. Focus Blast picks up the OHKO on Gigalith while also being a better neutral move into the Water-types and Vibrava. Psychic is specifically for Pignite since it shrugs off all of Magmar's other moves. Hidden Power Ice is an option instead if Magmar wants to catch Vibrava off guard and OHKO it. Hidden Power Grass can be used to OHKO Marshtomp and Whiscash, as well as 2HKOing Politoed after Stealth Rock damage. Vital Spirit is preferred over Flame Body to switch in against Sleep Powder from Jumpluff. Mention Flame Body here

Specially Defensive Swalot can take hits with ease and hit back hard with Earthquake, so Magmar appreciates being paired with the likes of Duosion and Vibrava to help switch into it. Mention revenge killers like Furfrou and Sawsbuck that can pick it off without much difficulty; can mention defensive Pokemon that could handle them

I think HP Grass should go before HP Ice because Specs Fire Blast can 2HKO Vib after slight chip anyway and Specs HP Grass hits a wider range of switch-ins)
