Why in the world do smogon sets recommend max speed and timid nature for Magnezone?! It has like base 60 speed. They're saying to scarf it so it outspeeds a Kartana lol. It may outspeed but that's so ridiculous. Even an elecktrike is faster.

The kartana excuse really only works this Gen., while magnezone's been running high-Speed Choice sets from it's introduction. My guess is that it's due to the fact that magnezone has no means of active recovery, and is thusly prone to being worn down throughout the fight simply by switching in to do its actual job (hunting down, entrapping, and ultimately elimination opposing Steel Types). It doesn't want to take any more blows than it already has to, and the best way to make sure that doesn't happen is to blast your target to smithereens before they can even move!
I'm personally a little annoyed that Smogon only has Magnet Pull sets for it (and probopass), but that may have something to do that I play in-game rather than comp.- the need to off Steels isn't quite so significant in the majority of fights, no?

magnezone is limited by its stats, other than special attack and to a lesser extent defense, being rather bad. id argue magnet pull is the only reason its still in ou, even. sturdy had a fall from grace with stealth rock appearing on pretty much every team.
ingame trapping isnt even as important, as ai trainers often dont even switch out to begin with. so ingame id 100% go with sturdy magnezone.

Earthquake is such a bad move. The only reason an earthquake is scary is because buildings and trees can collapse on you and you can get crushed. In a Pokémon battle with pure barren land as a stadium, exactly how is shaking the ground supposed to do damage? Isn't earth power, with all kinds of eruptions straight from the ground, more harmful than simply shaking the ground?

Breeding complete! Now Ev training.
I didn't believe it when I looked it up but larvesta evolves at level 59 into Volcarona! That's almost equal to psuedo legendary Pokemon. And it has 135 special attack which is 10 points higher than Hydreigon. And it STILL gets quiver dance! We need a buff to Hydreigon with a mega and a stat boosting move. Let the Hydra rampage in OU too.

Lol or it's ability in Pokémon Insurgence, Learnen which gives it 5 heads at full and 7 in red hp. I thought it was a pretty balanced ability. Because the power of a move is calculated very nicely.
Dragon pulse= 85
85÷5= 17 per head+5 more power= 22 per head×5 heads= 110 base power.
I like this concept a lot because it basically gives Hydreigon a more harder hitting move and it's stats get boosted with mega evolution so it can really do some great damage.

So Magnezone is better than Electivire in Reborn right? Does electric terrain nullify all other field effects?

Going to breed myself Hawlucha and Magnezone. Should be easy. And I get to test out my new team of six against 4 gym leaders too. This should be fun.
