specially defensive Iron defense body press zone. Magnezone is a counter to xurkitree
Magnezone can be 6hkod by tbolt where as analytic tbolt/Body press 3hko Xurkitree in return. This set can even make Xurk set up fodder as iron defense sub body press is pretty threataning. Now magnezone is not volt switch immune so it has that weakness but overall it should suffice as a counter with very minimal support
I have enjoyed using this specailly defensive magnezone to check threats in RU like Togekiss,Raikou, Xurkitre, Suicune. And from these pokemon it can set up on them with Iron defense body press potentailly threataning a sweep. This set is walled by Maro-A so youll want a way to deal with that
