Ground and Water hits for ×2.56 — Magcargo's Fire/Rock typing is double-weak, so those attackers outperform their score gap.
Watch its Fire/Rock moves — counters like Excadrill and Mamoswine take super-effective damage from them.
Rainy weather boosts Water moves ×1.2 — the best time to battle Magcargo.

Rankings are estimated cycle DPS (attack stat × move damage ÷ cycle time, with STAB and type effectiveness). Not a full battle simulation.
