Magnezone has been electrifying the competition recently, and for good reason. Choice Scarf and Magnet Pull let it trap Kartana and offensive Mega Scizor while still trapping other Steel-types such as Corviknight, Skarmory, and Ferrothorn, making Pokemon like Mega Lopunny, Rillaboom, and Weavile harder to check. Volt Switch provides momentum for teammates. Hidden Power Fire allows Magnezone to reliably remove Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor. Kartana, Rillaboom, and offensive Mega Scizor all benefit from defensive Steel-types being removed, and they can also provide Knock Off support to remove Shed Shell from the Steel-types that try to evade Magnezone's trapping. Furthermore, Pokemon that can switch into Ground-types such as Corviknight and Gliscor make for good partners. Gliscor especially works, as it heavily benefits from the removal of Corviknight and Skarmory, allowing it to dent the opposing team more easily. Timid is the preferred nature to outspeed non-Choice Scarf Kartana.
