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.
