Magby PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🧸 Little Cup

Magby is a superb addition to the Little League meta, unleashing a flurry of attacks thanks to the exceptionally fast energy gains from Karate Chop. Despite packing STAB, Magby's access to Fighting-type moves gives it wide coverage, and backed with Fire Punch, it beats Nidoqueen, Vulpix, Dratini, Swampert, Igglybuff, Wigglytuff, and other prominent targets weak to its moves such as Deino, Umbreon, Bulbasaur, Cottonee, and both Ice and Steel types.

What makes Magby a red alert threat is its access to Brick Break. Karate Chop helps use the 40 energy Brick Break very frequently, and the guaranteed DEF buff from it makes Magby almost impossible to beat late game if it baits shields via Brick Break. With all these qualities, Magby always makes an impact in the Little League, and should definitely be considered in your teams!

🔵 Great League

Magby maxes out at 1496 CP, but even with the maxed-out variant, its stats are too low for running in the Great League. This makes it an easy target for nearly the entire meta in this format.

Magby is too weak for the Ultra and Master League.
