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.
It uses radar to monitor its territory. Intruders are quickly disposed of with a hyper beam.
There are still people who believe that this Pokémon came from outer space. It emanates a powerful magnetic field.
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.
| Damage | Types |

| 4x (Critical) | Ground |
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Fighting |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Normal, Electric, Grass, Ice, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Dragon, Fairy |
