Magnemite
Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Magnemite is a electric/steel-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 325 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with slow (base 45) and a special attacking profile. Its Magnet Pull ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Magnemite. Build around what Magnemite actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
