Strategy Overview
Magearna's Steel / Fairy typing is one of the best in the game, especially in 1v1. It grants Magearna great resistances for defensive purposes, allowing it to sponge hits from popular Dragon- and Fairy-type Pokemon. Magearna's typing is also great offensively, as it can hit opposing Fighting-, Fairy-, and Dragon-type Pokemon super effectively. Magearna also has stats that complement its typing, making it easier to survive hits and deal damage. Magearna is blessed with a powerful signature move in Fleur Cannon, which, when paired with Fairium Z, can OHKO a good portion of the metagame, and its movepool has other great options such as Calm Mind, Iron Defense, and plenty of coverage moves like Ice Beam and Energy Ball. However, its ability, Soul-Heart, is useless in the 1v1 metagame. Additionally, Magearna is weak to common Fire- and Ground-type attacks, which are some of the most popular in the metagame. It is also relatively slow, which means that it can lose to faster Pokemon that can deal a great amount of damage to or OHKO it before it sets up, such as Charizard, Excadrill, and Zygarde-C.
