Magnezone's Electric/Steel typing gives it an immunity to Poison. Only 3 weaknesses on top of that — it has plenty of safe switch-in opportunities. It relies on priority moves or Scarf to keep up. Known as the Magnet Area Pokemon.

Magnezone's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Atk leads, Speed trails, 3 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 3 Sp. Atk EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

I theorize that a special magnetic field influenced this Pokémon, changing its molecular structure and causing it to evolve. It emits strange radio waves toward space from its antenna.

Magnezone Weakness

Excellent

Type-wise, Magnezone takes extra damage from Ground, Fire, and Fighting. Watch out for Ground attacks, those deal 4x damage. Poison moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. 11 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Magnezone's physical bulk (base 115 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Magnezone doesn't evolve through normal leveling. You'll need an evolution item to get here from Magnemite's line. Breed this form to get Magnemite eggs (average hatch time). Evolving from Magnemite gave Magnezone the biggest boost in HP (+45), bringing the total to 535 stats.

Prediction matters here. Choice Specs means Magnezone can't change moves after clicking, but the payoff is boosted special damage with move lock. Max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs with Magnetpull back that up. The remaining moves prevents free switches.

Magnezone's movepool balances level-up moves with TM options. Consistent STAB comes from Steel Beam and Thunder, and Normal coverage keeps opponents from switching in for free. No major gaps here.

    or evolve from Magneton (Step 2)

  • Magnezone has a 535 base stat total and ranks as B-Tier — a solid choice for the right team. It works best as a wallbreaker. Base 130 Sp. Atk is where it shines.

  • Magnezone's biggest threats include Swampert (Ground), Blaziken (Fire), and Lucario (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Swampert is the most dangerous since Ground moves deal 4x damage.

  • Magneton evolves into Magnezone using a Thunder Stone. Magnezone is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Magnemite. At 535 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.

  • Magnet Pull is the go-to ability for Magnezone. It prevents steel opponents from fleeing or switching out. Its hidden ability Analytic can work in specific setups. Sturdy is the other option — pick based on what your team needs.

  • Magnezone fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 130 Sp. Atk. At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • Magnezone appears in 13 games, including Platinum, HeartGold & SoulSilver, and Diamond & Pearl.

Magnezone has been available in 13 games since Diamond & Pearl, though obtaining it requires an item-based evolution. This extra step makes it less common than Pokemon found through standard wild encounters.
