Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Fire
- Flash Cannon

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.

Choice Scarf Magnezone has gotten very popular over the last few weeks recently and for good reason, with Choice Scarf and Magnet Pull, it can it is able to successfully trap Kartana while still being able to trap other Steel-types such as Skarmory, Corviknight, and Mega Scizor, opening doors for many of the metagame's dangerous threats such as Mega Lopunny, Mega Diancie, and Weavile. Would mention offensive Mega Scizor as another target Choice Scarf takes advantage of, and can mention Ferrothorn as one of the steels it can regularly trap, the tradeoff isn't the most perfect thing in the world but still worth a mention. Volt Switch allows Magnezone to chip down a Steel-type that doesn't get KOd by its moves such as Melmetal to trap later in the match while also providing momentum for its teammates. Would mention the momentum point first, and then mention it chipping down things after into a range to revenge kill. Hidden Power Fire allows Magnezone to 2HKO Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor, who otherwise wouldn't take much from its other moves. Would rephrase this point to be more centred around Hidden Power Fire enabling it to trap these two pokemon successfully, rather than summing it up to a coverage issue alone. Due to Magnezone's important role in trapping Steel-types, Pokemon who highly benefit from them being removed such as Kartana, offensive Mega Scizor and Rillaboom work great as teammates. Also listed some pokemon that appreciated STeel-types being removed higher up, would bring them down here or move these up there ad eliminate a few of them too(would mention the Knock point from below here too). Furthermore, Pokemon that can switch into Ground-types such as Corviknight and Gliscor make for good partners. The latter especially as it heavily benefits from the removal of Corviknight and Skarmory, allowing it to dent the opposing team more easily. Would mention teammates with Knock Off that can aid Magnezone in trapping by knocking off Shed SHell from stuff like Corviknight and Skarmory. If you have room, would also mention Pokemon that like Kartana and offensive Mega Scizor being dealt with by Magnezone.
hmu when this is implemented and i'll give it another look to make sure sentence structure is good/doesn't go over the word limit

Gliscor especially as it heavily benefits from the removal of Corviknight and Skarmory, allowing it to dent the opposing team more easily. Knock Off support from Pokemon such as Landorus-T and Weavile is useful for Magnezone as it can remove Shed Shell from Corviknight and Skarmory, making them easy to trap. Give a brief mention of why to run Timid in particular since Magnezone isn't your ordinary speed control and it runs that nature to get a specific target in mind.
try to make the wording a bit more playful since its a spotlight and all and use a bit more prepositions so the sentences flow with each other better since it just feels robotic otherwise, other than that,
