List of Contents
Magnet | |
Effect | An item to be held by a Pokemon. It's a powerful magnet that bootst the power of Electric-type moves. |
---|
You can get Magnet in Hulbury, close to where the Incense Shop and the Herb Shop are.
Magnet should be equipped by Electric-type Pokemon as it boosts Electric-type moves by 20% and also stacks with STAB.
This item fits most Electric-type attackers as it maximizes their offensive capabilities, although the item only affects Electric-type moves and will not boost moves of a different type.
For offensive Electric-type Pokemon, you will at times wonder if Magnet or Choice Band or Choice Specs fits your Pokemon better.
Advantage | Disadvantage | |
---|---|---|
Magnet | ・20% damage boost to Electric-type moves ・Can use all moves |
・Only boost Electric-type moves |
Choice Band or Choice Specs | ・50% boost to Atk/Sp.Atk | ・Locked to one move |
The right option between these two items depends on how offensive you want your Pokemon to be in battle.
If you only want to use one Electric-type move, then a Choice item will be your best bet. If you think that you need to use coverage or any other moves, opt for Magnet.
