Moves
=========

Calm Mind turns Magearna into a threatening wallbreaker and a dangerous late-game cleaner and makes it more difficult for special attackers such as Tapu Koko and Mega Alakazam to take it down. Fleur Cannon hits neutral targets such as Landorus-T and Seismitoad hard and mows through Fighting- and Dragon-types like Mega Lopunny, Mega Medicham, Kommo-o, and Mega Latias. Ice Beam cleanly OHKOes the likes of Gliscor while still threatening Grass-types like Serperior and Tapu Bulu and Dragon-types like Kommo-o. Focus Blast pairs well with Fleur Cannon by hitting Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn for major damage. Aura Sphere has more PP and provides a more accurate Fighting-type coverage option to still hit the aforementioned Steel-types, at the expense of a significant drop in power, with Magearna no longer able to OHKO Excadrill without a boost. Finally, Thunderbolt allows Magearna to threaten the likes of Toxapex, Celesteela, and Mega Charizard Y super effectively, all of which can handle its other moves.

Set Details
========

The given EV spread enables Magearna to survive a +2 High Jump Kick from Hawlucha and two Focus Blasts from Mega Alakazam after Stealth Rock, with Speed investment to outspeed Skarmory, while the rest of the EVs are dumped into Special Attack. Aguav Berry can be used to gain back lost HP in a pinch after taking hits while setting up, more useful when faced with heavy hits like Landorus-T's Earthquake. Leftovers is another useful option in a similar manner to slowly regain health, making it harder for passive Pokemon like Chansey to meaningfully chip away at Magearna. If Magearna is knocked into low HP, Custap Berry allows it to net surprise damage against Pokemon like Landorus-T and Mega Swampert after taking a hit.

Usage Tips
========

Calm Mind Magearna fills a unique role as a wallbreaker, late-game cleaner, and a defensive stopgap that can take on monstrous special attackers like Tapu Lele, Tapu Koko, and Mega Alakazam, with Soul-Heart enabling it to nab a boost after a KO and mitigate the Special Attack drop from Fleur Cannon. It is highly recommended to ensure that Magearna stays as healthy as possible to handle Hawlucha and Kommo-o due to this set's limited longevity and, in the case of Hawlucha, the high amount of HP needed to survive one hit and revenge kill. Magearna often finds setup opportunities against Choice-locked Pokemon like Ash-Greninja locked into Dark Pulse and Kartana locked into Leaf Blade as well as passive Pokemon like non-Flamethrower Clefable, Slowbro, and Toxapex. Magearna can also use its bulk to trade against Pokemon like Gliscor and defensive Landorus-T, surviving their super effective hits and OHKOing them back with its boosted attacks. Magearna should avoid trying to set up if checks like Mega Swampert, Victini, Volcarona, and Mega Charizard X are present and wait until they are dealt with before going for the sweep. Make sure to scout for any unexpected super effective coverage such as Fire Fang from Mega Mawile and Tectonic Rage from Protean Greninja. Despite being a solid answer to Weavile, Knock Off removes Magearna's Aguav Berry or Leftovers and reduces its longevity, especially if entry hazards are on the battlefield.

Team Options
========

This set is geared towards offense and hyper offense teams, which value its defensive utility as a Steel-type and capability as a Calm Mind sweeper. Magearna appreciates wallbreakers like Tapu Lele and Kyurem-B punching holes through opposing teams and breaking down the likes of Chansey, Heatran, and opposing Magearna. On hyper offense teams, a dedicated lead such as Mega Diancie, Taunt Mew, Landorus-T, or Excadrill is greatly appreciated, setting up entry hazards to help Magearna. Mega Diancie is especially notable, as it can bait in and use Substitute + Endeavor to potentially eliminate the likes of Heatran, Chansey, and defensive Magearna, all of which can take on Calm Mind Magearna. Serperior is a solid partner for Magearna, utilizing Taunt + Leaf Storm to beat Chansey one-on-one and Glare to cripple Pokemon faster than Magearna, such as Excadrill, Mega Medicham, and Mega Charizard Y, potentially sacrificing itself to do so. The chance of full paralysis also grants Magearna extra opportunities to set up Calm Mind, giving Magearna better chances to force through the likes of opposing Calm Mind Magearna and Heatran. Physical setup sweepers such as Gyarados, Dragonite, and Mega Charizard X are also solid partners, as they can force damage against shared checks like opposing Magearna and Toxapex for the other to clean up later in the game and take Fire-type attacks aimed at Magearna. Additionally, the former two, as well as Charizard before Mega Evolving, can set up against Choice Scarf Landorus-T locked into Earthquake thanks to their Ground immunity. In return, Magearna handles the likes of Weavile, Ash-Greninja, and Mega Alakazam. Mega Pinsir also enjoys partnering with Magearna, softening the likes of Celesteela and Ferrothorn while Magearna covers Rock-types like Mega Diancie and Choice Scarf Tyranitar and pressures Zapdos. Magearna also enjoys pairing with Volcarona, as it can threaten Steel-types like Mega Scizor and Celesteela. Additionally, they can pressure Chansey together, forcing it to burn through its Soft-Boiled PP, with Volcarona being able to potentially outplay it with Substitute + Swarm. Kommonium-Z Kommo-o is another solid teammate for Magearna and greatly appreciates the removal of Fairy-types like Clefable and Tapu Lele to clean up later in the game. Cresselia provides a safe switch-in against Ground-type moves aimed at Magearna as well as crucial support with Thunder Wave to cripple faster Pokemon like Mega Alakazam and Lunar Dance to grant Magearna another chance to sweep.

Moves
=========

Calm Mind turns Magearna into a threatening breaker and a dangerous late-game cleaner and makes it more difficult for special attackers such as Tapu Koko and Mega Alakazam to take it down. Fleur Cannon hits neutral targets such as Landorus-T and seismioad hard and mows through Fighting- and Dragon-types like Hawlucha, Mega Medicham, Kommo-o, Mega Latias, and Dragonite. Focus Blast pairs well with Fleur Cannon and hits Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn for major damage. (Add aura sphere) Finally, Thunderbolt allows Magearna to threaten the likes of Toxapex and Celesteela super effectively, both of which can handle Magearna's other moves. (Add ice beam)

Set Details
========

The given EV spread enables Magearna to survive a +2 High Jump Kick from Hawlucha and 2 Focus Blasts from Mega Alakazam after Stealth Rock, as well as outspeed Skarmory, while the rest of the EVs are dumped into Special Attack. Aguav Berry can be used to gain back lost HP in a pinch after taking hits while setting up. Leftovers is another useful option in a similar manner to slowly regain health. (Add custap berry)

Usage Tips
========

Calm Mind Magearna fills a unique role as a wallbreaker, late-game cleaner, and a defensive check that can take on monstrous special attackers like Tapu Lele, Tapu Koko, and Mega Alakazam, with Soul-Heart enabling it to nab a boost after a KO and negate the Special Attack drop from Fleur Cannon. It is highly recommended to ensure that Magearna stays as healthy as possible to handle these Pokemon and Fighting-types like Hawlucha and Mega Medicham due to this set's lack of recovery outside of an Aguav Berry or Leftovers. Magearna often finds setup opportunities against Choice-locked Pokemon like Ash-Greninja locked into Dark Pulse or Kartana locked into Leaf Blade and Pokemon that cannot pose an immediate threat such as non-Flamethrower Clefable, Slowbro, and Rotom-W Toxapex. Magearna can also use its bulk to potentially trade against Pokemon like Gliscor and defensive Landorus-T, surviving their super effective hits and OHKO them back with its boosted attacks. However, it should avoid trying to set up if checks like Mega Swampert, Victini, Volcarona, and Mega Charizard X are present and wait until they are dealt with before going for the sweep. Magearna should scout for any coverage and unexpected Z-moves that can threaten it with major damage or a potential OHKO such as Fire Fang from Mega Mawile and Tectonic Rage from Protean Greninja. Despite being a solid answer to Weavile, Magearna must also watch out for Knock Off, as losing its Aguav Berry or Leftovers will reduce its longevity, especially if entry hazards are on the battlefield.

Team Options
========

This set is geared towards offense and hyper offense teams that value its capability as a Calm Mind sweeper and defensive utility as a Steel-type. Magearna appreciates wallbreakers like Tapu Lele and Mega Medicham Kyurem-B punching holes through opposing teams and threatening breaking down the likes of Chansey, Heatran, and opposing Magearna. On hyper offense teams, a dedicated lead such as Mega Diancie, Taunt Mew, Imprison Landorus-T, and Excadrill is greatly appreciated, being able to prevent entry hazards from being set up while setting up its own entry hazards to help Magearna. Mega Diancie is especially notable, as Substitute + Endeavor can bait in and potentially eliminate the likes of Toxapex Heatran, Chansey, and defensive Magearna, all of which can take on Calm Mind Magearna. Mega Diancie can even stall out the recovery PP from the former two with Endeavor + Diamond Storm or Moonblast. Serperior is a solid partner for Magearna, utilizing Taunt and Defog to keep entry hazards off the field and Glare to cripple Pokemon faster than Magearna such as Excadrill and Mega Charizard Y, potentially sacrificing itself to cripple the latter. The chance of full paralysis also grants Magearna an extra opportunity to set up Calm Mind, making it more difficult to revenge kill. Most important part is taunt letting it beat chansey and preventing checks to magearna from healing like jirachi or pain split magearna. Setup sweepers such as Gyarados, Dragonite, Kommo-o are also solid partners, as they can take on Fire-types such as Mega Charizard Y, Heatran, and Volcarona. Additionally, the former two can also set up against Choice Scarf Landorus-T locked into Earthquake thanks to their Ground immunity. In return, Magearna handles the likes of Weavile and Mega Alakazam and covers Dragonite and Kommo-o's Fairy weaknesses. The combined set of resistances also enables Magearna and its teammates to take on Ash-Greninja, which gives hyper offense teams major trouble. Mega Pinsir also enjoys partnering with Magearna, softening the likes of Chansey while Magearna covers Rock-types like Mega Diancie and the rare Mega Aerodactyl Scarf Tyranitar. Magearna also enjoys pairing with Fire-type partners like Mega Charizard X and Volcarona, as they appreciate Magearna pivoting into Rock-type attacks aimed at them. In return, they can threaten Mega Venusaur, which annoys Magearna with Leech Seed and Knock Off and resists its Fleur Cannon and primary coverage options. (Gotta be a better thing to mention here instead of venusaur) Lunar Dance Cresselia restores Magearna's HP and PP back up to full, granting it another chance to sweep. (Needs more detail you havent explained why this is relevant - gear has low pp, unreliable recovery... it also spreads para and is immune to ground)
