Stats & Training
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.
Sometimes the magnetism emitted by Magnezone is too strong, making them attract each other so they cannot move.
It evolved from exposure to a special magnetic field. Three units generate magnetism.
Magnezone Weakness
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.
