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. 12 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.

Diamond & Pearl Magnezone Best Moveset

Bulk and offense in one package. Magnezone runs Leftovers for passive recovery each turn with a Timid nature, so it survives long enough to threaten with Thunderbolt. Max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs and Normal coverage make it hard to safely switch into.
