Special Sweeper Magcargo (Flame Body)
Magcargo is a spectacular Special Sweeper. It is primarily designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. In the old days prior to Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. White Herb will reset Magcargo's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Overheat). With Flame Body, 1/3 chance a pokemon making contact with Magcargo will be burned.
♦ Overheat is a special STAB-boosted 140-base power Fire-type move (lowers your Magcargo's special attack by 2 stages). ♦ Flamethrower is a special STAB-boosted 95-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). ♦ Light Screen is a status move (for 5 turns, special damage to allies is halved).
No additional EV spread were found for this set at this time.Array
