A bizarre Pokémon with but a single eye embedded in an iron sphere. I suspect this creature levitates due to the magnetism it emits from its arms, which resemble horseshoe-shaped magnets.

Magnemite Weakness

Ground, Fire, and Fighting moves hit Magnemite for super-effective damage. Ground hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. 11 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that.

Legends: Arceus Magnemite Best Moveset

This is a pure walling set. Berryjuice provides extra utility so Magnemite sticks around, and the Bold nature reinforces physical wall. The moveset handles sustain while Sturdy does work passively.

Competitive build content is not applicable for this game. Select a main series game for builds.

Moves

Magnemite's options are limited here. You've got Steel Beam and Thunder for STAB damage, but there isn't much beyond Electric and Steel hitting power. TMs help fill gaps, though the kit stays tight.
