Magnedex
Magnedex is the Windmill Plains magnet pivot. Magnet pays for the attempt, Volt Switch keeps the route moving, and Magnet Bomb or Protect decides whether the team can control Thunderstorm pressure without becoming too slow.

Best Use
- Use Magnedex when Metal Coil and Magnet both support the active upgrade path.
- Choose it over Zaprat when pivot safety matters more than pure speed.
- Choose it over Mechabit when the team needs movement, not a wall.
- A good attempt should make switching and Electric pressure cleaner.
Team Tips
- Pair Magnedex with an attacker that benefits from Volt Switch positioning.
- Bring Ground coverage protection if the route threatens Electric/Steel typing.
- Avoid pairing it with too many slow setup picks.
Farming Notes
- Track Metal Coil as the route-specific material.
- Magnet should be spent only when the pivot plan has a real target.
- Stop once Metal Coil or Magnet requirements are complete.
- Return for Thunderstorm routes where positioning matters.
Common Mistakes
- Using Magnedex as a pure tank when Mechabit fits better.
- Spending Magnet without a planned Volt Switch target.
- Ignoring Ground counters on Thunderstorm routes.
