EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Fire
- Flash Cannon
- Volt Switch
Choice Scarf is arguably Magnezone's is most effective set due to its ability to trap and dispose of two extremely common threats in Kartana and Mega Scizor. Choice Scarf helps Magnezone outspeed prominent OU threats, thus letting it check Pokemon like Tapu Lele in emergencies and revenge kill threats like Kartana and Mega Pinsir. Magnet Pull also gives Magnezone the ability to trap a variety of problematic Steel-types, such as Ferrothorn, Mega Scizor, and Skarmory. Kartana, Mega Latios, Tapu Bulu, Mega Pinsir, and Kyurem-B can fit alongsides Choice Scarf Magnezone, as they all appreciate having Steel-types removed. Kartana in particular synergizes well with Choice Scarf Magnezone because it can punch holes in defensive cores with its Z-Move at +2 and revenge kill faster foes that Magnezone cannot outspeed, such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Mega Lopunny. Defensive partners that can handle Ground-types, such as Clefable, Tapu Bulu, Landorus-T, and Tangrowth, are appreciated, as they can check synergize Zygarde and many variants of Landorus-T.
In this replay of Eo Ut Mortus facing Trosko in SPL, you can see Choice Scarf Magnezone in action.
