Well
I’m still looking for TRU Darkrai. If you are reading these and
feel like helping me out feel free to e-mail me. I’ll trade u
well for it. Same goes for the Gamestop Deoxys. Thanks =)
Pretty
good special attack and decent defense make Magnezone an
interesting tankish sweeper. It is also a natural counter to
Skarmory and might as well be an interesting option if you are
looking for an electric-type for your team.
The
movesets for today are…
Trap.
Magnezone@Leftovers.
Nature: Mild (+ Special attack, - Defense), Rash (+ Special
attack, - Special defense).
EV’s: 252 Special attack / 129 Attack / 129 Speed.
- Thunderbolt
- HP ice
- Substitute
- Explosion / Magnet rise
Use
magnet pull with this… Perfect counter for Skarmory, I’d use
explosion over magnet rise, but the former lets you survive
Swampert, so it’s an excellent choice as well.
Special sweeper.
Magnezone@Salac
Berry
/ Life orb / Leftovers
Nature: Modest (+ Special attack, - Attack).
EV’s: 252 Special attack / 252 Speed / 6 Defense.
- HP ice
- Thunderbolt
- Flash cannon
- Endure / Magnet rise
Almost
the same set but a different natures and items. Use Salac berry
if you are using endure, if not then choose between leftovers or
life orb. You might also want to try choice scarf/specs using
explosion as your last attack.
There
are other decent strategies as the rest talker or thunder
dancer. But I think the trap set is going to be your surprise
card against Skarmory users (there are a lot of them out there
by the way).
Pros.
Good
not only against Skarmory but you can also take down Blisseys if
you are patient enough and you are good timing your explosion
attack. It has great special attack for an electric type and
defenses capable of taking even an earthquake from not so strong
Pokémon.
Counters.
If you
trap the trapper then you shall succeed; Dugtrio with arena trap
will certainly KO Magnezone if you use Earthquake before it uses
magnet rise. Electivire can Lanturn can handle its electric
attacks and if you use Swampert wisely you might take it down
before it uses HP.
Bottom line.
We
close another summer week. With the announcement of Pokémon
platinum and the sky form of Shaymin we know we will have
Pokémon for a very long time. I also want to say that Pokémon
ranch is a very good giant box (1000 Pokémon max.) for you
serious trainers out there who find yourselves out of space
(happens to me very often).
Rating:
3.3/5
Hope
you enjoyed.
