Strategy Overview
Magnezone is a powerful special attacker in Battle Spot Singles, boasting the typing and power to function as an effective wallbreaker. Its Electric / Steel typing allows it to check bulky Water-types such as Suicune and Rotom-W and gives it a secondary STAB that allows it to threaten Ground-types such as Garchomp and Landorus-T without the need for Hidden Power Ice. This typing also lets it Magnezone check Fairy-types such as Sylveon and Gardevoir while giving it numerous resistances, making it easier for Magnezone to find opportunities to switch in. Analytic helps Magnezone capitalize on switches as well, allowing it to maintain momentum for its team while exerting great offensive pressure. Access to Sturdy allows Magnezone to function as a revenge killer without requiring a Focus Sash, despite its low Speed, and the immunity to OHKO moves also makes it one of few Moody Glalie checks that don't fear Sheer Cold. However, Magnezone's low Speed makes it easy to wear down, since it will often be attacking after the foe, making it prone to being revenge killed. While few Pokemon can safely switch into Magnezone, its typing also leaves it weak to common threats such as Garchomp, Landorus-T, Blaziken, Mamoswine, and Talonflame. Magnezone's movepool is also very shallow with few options outside of STAB moves and Hidden Power, so it has difficulty breaking through threats such as Swampert and Rotom-H that typically don't mind Magnezone's moves.
