For Magmortar’s best quick move, you’ll want to roll with Fire Spin. It has better damage output than the Karate Chop alternative. For Charged moves, you have some more options available. The top three most popular choices are Fire Punch, Brick Break, and Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt is a good charged move option, allowing Magmortar to be more effective against Water-types especially, as well as Ground and Rock-types. It won’t change Magmortar’s overall effectiveness all that much, but it does give a slight edge in certain matchups.
