Magearna @ Latiasite
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ice Beam
- Volt Switch
- Spikes
- Pain Split
Magearna levitates above Mix and Mega! Boasting an incredible defensive typing with only one weakness thanks to its Latiasite alongside useful utility moves, Magearna is an excellent defensive pivot that can check threats like Dragonite, Pinsirite Great Tusk, and Weavile. Ice Beam hits the former two of those foes as well as Eternatus and Raging Bolt. Volt Switch pressures Water-types like Urshifu-R, Hisuian Samurott, and Arceus-Water and lets Magearna safely bring in another teammate. These two moves also let Magearna discourage Magic Bounce users like Mandibuzz, Hippowdon, and Corviknight from switching in, letting it further support its teammates by setting up Spikes. Pain Split helps Magearna keep itself healthy, especially against defensive foes with high HP like Eternatus and Lunala. Arceus-Water is a great partner, as it can handle Fire-types like Ho-Oh and Hisuian Arcanine and Gravity users like Arceus-Ground that can easily KO Magearna. Offensive partners like Urshifu-R and Raging Bolt appreciate Magearna's Spikes helping get their checks like physically defensive Eternatus and Arceus-Ground, respectively, into KO range.
