Strategy Overview

Magnemite may seem like a dull toy compared to other Electric-types, but it is actually an incredible Pokemon. Its high Special Attack stat allows it to deal major damage to a variety of foes. With Magnet Pull, Magnemite can check threats such as Aron and Bronzor quite reliably, and thanks to its ability to hit 22 Speed with a Choice Scarf, it can counter slower Scarf users as well. Due to Magnemite having the most resistances in the game and passable defenses, it has plenty of favorable match-ups. Overall, Magnemite is a threat that should never be underestimated.
