magneton switching into aero always gave me life. so fucking brutal for those aero teams when my magoff gets 1-2 zapdos thunderbolts on top of their usual offensive pressure. also i got my 1834 with leechbi + sub mag to trap (non cb) meta and i think thats a cool interaction. subseed a bit then bolt.
I'm a decently new player and my peak is around the low 1600s. I can tell I'm doing a lot of things correctly, but I have a question that may be a video idea: how do you all do the team deductions? I hear it on commentary and on Jim videos all the time where you can start deducing specific Pokemon even down to the set. I get that a lot of that is game sense and experience, but is there a way to really train on that form of deductive reasoning? I got surprise last mon Snorlax'd a few times and plummeted my Elo, so it'd be helpful to know if you have any advice.
this mostly comes from experience and playing a lot of games. some sets and mons together can give away common builds. but its mainly just from seeing and playing vs those teams youll start to recognize them over time.
It would no longer have to use Magnet to reliably 100-0 Skarmory and the extra bulk would make it significantly better against choice locked normal/steel/flying moves and the electric + grass/ice mons. Phys offense will be a lot better imo. EDIT - Bulkless Zone will always survive a Forrey Earthquake and has a 62.5% to OHKO with HP Fire yeah it will be broken actually.
Very nice. Next we must also ask ourselves how Mag can get more out of us as trainers clearly.
I think I'll be experimenting with defensive mag soon.

Protect mag is great against banded Aero
Spamming sub on a seeded non-banded meta is super fun
Good stuff 👍
I got surprised by endure hp ice killing my mence once. Use that magneton folks. Maybe a starmie video next.
Omg I run that and got a Mence after a skarm once
Seeing a lot of sub sand attack dugtrio coming in on magneton. Would Lock-On shut this down?

What if Magnezone was in this generation?
I don’t think much would change. It’s just stronger magneton. Magneton might still be used sometimes cause of its speed though.

It would be a real pokemon even if skarm wasnt in the tier
After my mag traps skarm, I use it to hang my power bill up on the fridge so I don't forget to pay it again.
Charcoal hp hire does more damage to metagross than tbolt, just a psa
yes it does. the only time to use fire over bolt is that scenario
