Strategy Overview

Magnemite is a solid Pokemon in the LC metagame, able to act as a pivot or as a powerful attacker. Its viability stems from its fantastic Special Attack, allowing it to fire off powerful attacks without requiring a boosting item. It is further set apart from other special attackers by its fantastic typing that gives it a plethora of resistances, access to Volt Switch that allows it to serve as a pivot, and access to Sturdy + Berry Juice, allowing it to recover health consistently. However, Magnemite is hindered in the LC metagame by weaknesses to the common Fighting- and Ground-type moves. Additionally, Magnemite only hits 15 Speed, leaving it reliant on a Choice Scarf if it wants to outspeed the metagame or an intact Berry Juice to take hits against offensive teams.
