What is a good competitive moveset for Magcargo? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Gold/Silver Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Gold/Silver generation metagame.
Magcargo is an extraordinary Fire and Rock-typed Pokemon. It's frequent to find yourself dealing with Magcargo when battling in the 2nd generation meta. This Pokemon deserves to see more play in the meta. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Magcargo is weak to Fighting, Ground, Rock, and Water-typed attacks.
Magcargo is a phenomenal Special Sweeper. This moveset is designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Don't forget before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Flamethrower is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target). ♦ Ember is a special STAB-boosted 40-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target). ♦ Defense Curl is a status move (raises your Magcargo's defense by 1 stage). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target). ♦ Acid Armor is a status move (raises your Magcargo's defense by 2 stages).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
