Magnezone wall strategy, Good or bad?

If I used substitute and used iron defense 3 times(If I actually have the chance to without the substitute breaking) and a nonstab earthquake wont even break the substitute, wont it work good as a wall? Also it can carry leftovers to recover hp from substitute damage. And i dont know for sure but if it uses reflect along with the 3 iron defenses maybe the substitute will still survive even if it gets hit by a stab earthquake? Also it can use thunder/thunderbolt for the attacking move when necessary.

This is a Terrible Strategy on Magnezone unless you abuse its Ability, Magnet Pull, to set up. If you don’t run Magnet Pull on Magnezone, This strategy will fail and you’re better off going with Bronzong, who only has 1 weakness if Levitate is used. It is also preferred to run Charge Beam if you are using Magnezone, to boost your Sp. Attack after setting up(Must be used with Magnet Pull). Beware of Magnezone’s lackluster Sp.Defense though, and Skarmory(can use Whirlwind and phaze you out, ruining your boosts).

I suggest supporting Magnezone with a Special Wall, Cresselia being my suggestion. Cresselia resists Ground Type Moves, support with Reflect/Light Screen, and Walcial hits aimed at Magnezone when its Substitute is down. Magnezone can support it with walling Ghost/Dark Type Moves. I also suggest Wish Support in case you need immeadiate HP. Entry Hazard support is well needed to break through Focus Sashers like Cloyster, and OHKO it with STAB Thunderbolt. Definetely consider the Cresselia Idea though.

Good luck with Magnezone.

So first off, not bad. Not sure it would work, though.

The sub won’t survive long. Chances are it’ll break before you can even get one Iron Defense up. And besides, why would the opponent LET you set up the Iron Defenses? Even with one, non-STAB E-Quake will probably OHKO you because of the lowered health. Maybe you could survive. Also, why would you use Reflect? 3 Iron Defenses is enough, believe me. Try Light Screen as it will boost your team as well and will boost that “just-over-300-max” Sp. Defense. Also, make sure you lower his HP as much as possible to reduce Sub damage. Although that would ruin the point of lefties.
