Is Gengar or Magnezone better for USUM playthroughs?

Question

I'm on Poni Island on my Ultra Moon playthrough and I don't have anything good against Fairy. Which is better for Fairy types?

Comments

It depends, have you done the Ground Grand Trial yet?

Okay, so, pass the ground trial, and then get a Magnezone, as Magnezone is super weak to Ground. Maybe get one, but switch it out for something else or just don't use it in the battle.

Answer 1

I'd go Magnezone. Assuming you have passed the Ground Trial, it's really good since it has a resistance to the Dragon Trial, a super effective STAB to the Fairy Trial, as well as resistance. It also has super effective STAB to the Flying E4, as well as being resistant to a bunch of the E4 STAB, like Olivia. Also, if you picked Incineroar, against Hau's Vaporeon, and resistant to a bunch of his STAB Moves. It also has really good Stats and Moves, I myself used one up until I got Solgaleo in my Sun Game. Ooh, and I forgot, since your right there in Vast Poni Canyon, that's the electric field for Magnezone.

Or, since you're playing USUM, Blush Mountain is also an electric field.
