>>31159360>>31159388>not getting the jokeIn all seriousness, Magcargo's weaknesses are his biggest bane. 4x Ground (EQ) and Water (Scald/Hydro Pump), 2x Fighting (insert any number of moves here) and even it's own typing of Rock (Rock Slide/Stone Edge/Power Gem). Moves in these types are pretty common in competitive and come on a wide variety of different pokemon that are faster than he is, making him obsolete before his stats even come into consideration. That said, his Def is good at 120, His SpD is decent at 80, but he only has 60 HP which is fairly low for a tanky pokemon. He has 90 SpA to put out some damage, but that doesn't do much with 30 speed and less-than-desirable bulk.
So how do you fix him?
>HP 90>ATK 30>DEF 120>SPA 80>SPD 100>SPE 30A better stat spread for starters, with minimal increases. Give it moves like Burn Up to turn it into typeless bulk and Sturdy as an ability to prevent it from being instantly destroyed by bad matchups. Maybe even give it Destiny Bond as a last "fuck you".
Alternatively?
>New Ability: Hot LavaDeals 30% of damage taken from physcial attacks back to the attacker.
