Strategy Overview

Magby has several qualities that enable it to stand out in Little Cup. Boasting access to the revered 19 Speed tier and excellent attacking stats, Magby is quite the threat. Its movepool contains gems such as Belly Drum, Mach Punch, Cross Chop, Flare Blitz, and more. However, the blessings don't end there; it gets access to two good abilities, Flame Body and Vital Spirit, as well as being a Fire-type, which prevents burns and is generally potent offensively. While slightly held back by its fragility and weakness to Stealth Rock, as well as its susceptibility to priority, Magby is not a Pokemon to be underestimated.
