OVERVIEW]
Magnezone stands out as a great wallbreaker in NU thanks to its STAB combo and offensive power. Magnezone can demolish physical defense walls like Slowbro, Vileplume, and Sylveon. Choice Specs provides Magnezone a ton of nuking power with Analytic, allowing it to break through its checks like Alolan Muk and Registeel. Assault Vest sets gives Magnezone the ability to tank power special attacks from Dragalge, Munkidori, and Porygon-Z; also, it doesn't make Magnezone lock into one of its moves like the Choice Specs sets. Magnezone can also trap and remove Steel-types like Copperajah, Registeel, and Klefki with Magnet Pull. Magnezone biggest problem is the low speed making it easy to get revenge by faster threats like Lycanroc-D, Mienshao, and Flygon. Magnezone also lacks longevity making it easy for it to get worn down by repeatly switches into Pokemon that it checks.

Choice Specs Magnezone goes all in with its massive Special Attack stat to hit Incredibly hard with Analytic boosting its power. Timid nature is a preferred option over Modest allowing Magnezone to outspeed foes like Swampert, Dragalge, and Sylveon. Although, the latter is still very useful allowing to 2HKO foes like Alolan Muk and Assault Vest Gallade on a switch. Volt Switch allows Magnezone to pivot out from Special walls like Alolan Muk, Reuniclus, and Incineroar to bring in strong wallbreakers against them and it can chip them for itself. Volt Switch is very spammable since none of the Ground-types don't want to switch into Choice Specs Flash Cannon nor Tera Blast Grass. Flash Cannon hit foes that is resistance to its electric Stabs like Vileplume, Dragalge, and Brute Bonnet. Tera Blast Grass hits Ground-types like Flygon, krookodile, and Rhyperior; also, it hits Swampert and Quagsire that resistance to Flash Cannon. Magnet Pull is another option over Analytic allowing Magnezone to trapped and destroy Steel-types such as Copperajah, Klefki, and Registeel. Tera Grass gives it a resistance to Water- and Ground-type attacks from Flygon, Swampert, and Rhyperior.
Magnezone best pairs with Grass-types like Tsareena, Brute Bonnet, and Vileplume to handle Ground-types such as Flygon, Krookodile, and Rhyperior. Magnezone can also struggled against Fire-types like Chandelure, Infernape, and Incineroar that can switch into Choice Specs Flash Cannon. So it pairs greatly with Water-types like Slowbro, Swampert, and Vaporeon to handle the Fire-types. Walllbreakers like Mienshao, Lycanroc-D, and Mew apperite Magnezone slow pivot to bring them in with a safe entry without it getting damaged. Magnezone is a excellent facilitator for VoltTurn teams, paring well with offensive pivots like Mienshao, Flygon, and Infernape. They can beat Special walls like Brute Bonnet, Registeel, and Alolan Muk; in return, Magnezone can check physical walls like Vileplume, Dragalge, and Slowbro. Munkidori is a great partner for Magnezone since it checks Fighting-types like Mienshao, Infernape, and Gallade. Its ability Toxic Chain spreading Toxic on its U-turn allows it to cripple Magnezone's Fire- and Ground-type checks like Infernape, Chandelure, and Krookodile. Magnezone is variable against hazards so pair it with removers like Tsareena, Talonflame, and Noivern to get rid of entry hazards.

Set Details

The main appeal of Assault Vest Magnezone is the ability to tank hits from Special wallbreakers like Porygon-Z, Dragalge, and Reuniclus. The EV spreads allows Magnezone to tank hits and 44 Spe allows it to outspeed foes like Rhyperior, Diancie, and Incineroar. Tera Blast Grass hits Ground- and Water-types like Rhyperior, Quagsire, and Krookodile. Alternatively, Tera Blast Water hits Fire-types like Infernape, Chandelure, and Incineroar while maintaining the ability to hit Ground-types. Body Press can be used over Tera Blast Grass allowing Magnezone to hit Dark- and Steel-types like Copperajah, Krookodile, and Incineroar. Tera Flying gives a resistance to Fighting-types attacks from foes like Mienshao, Gallade, and Infernape; also, it gives Magnezone an immunity from Ground-type attacks. Alternatively, Tera Water gives it a resistance to Fire-type attacks from foes like Chandelure, Infernape, and Incineroar. Tera Grass is still an option allowing Magnezone a resistance to Ground- and Water-type attacks from pokemon like Flygon, krookodile, and Slowbro.
Wallbreakers like Mienshao, Flygon, and Inteleon appreciate its slow Volt Switch allowing them to get a safe free entry. Magnezone appreciate hazards support from teammates like Rhyperior and Diancie wearing down foes that can repeatedly switch into Magnezone. Fighting-types like Mienshao, Infernape, and Gallade can outspeed Magnezone and they can force it out. So it greatly pairs with physical walls like Slowbro, Vileplume, and Reuniclus that handles the Fighting-types. Hazards removers like Tsareena, Talonflame, and Noivern can be great partners for Magnezone allowing them to remove entire hazards. Magnezone appreciates Water- and Grass-types like Slowbro, Tsareena, and Vileplume for handling Ground-types like Swampert, Krookodile, and Flygon.

Set Details
====
The Set Comments section will often consist of two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you should go over the specifics of this set. What are the purposes of the moves, item, ability, and nature + EVs? There is no need to talk about basic STAB moves, useless abilities, or simple EV spreads like 252 / 4 / 252.
In the second paragraph, you should talk about potential teammates and what makes them useful. Cover Pokemon that can patch up the analyzed Pokemon's weakness and mention Pokemon that benefit from the analyzed Pokemon's presence.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
====
Thunder Wave can be used on the IronPress sets allowing it to paralyze faster threats like Mienshao and Chandelure. However, it if doesn't have Flash Cannon it can make Magnezone a lot more passive against physical walls like Dragalge and Vileplume both can resist Thunderbolt and Body Press. Discharge allows it to deal damage against foes and has a chance to paralyze of its opponents. Mirror Coat allows it to hit back special attacks such as Dragalge, Munkidori, and Porygon-Z very hard. Steel Beam is another option allowing Magnezone to deal major damage against foes like Gallade, Mew, and Brute Bonnet. It can also be very useful for Magnezone teammates allowing them to pick off weaken opponents.
Checks and Counters

**Insert Threat Here**: You should describe why the Pokemon is a threat. Please do keep in mind that it is often easier to insert whole typings and then specify the Pokemon of such type that are threats; this makes it much easier to keep track of this section for the audience.
