Strategy Overview

Magnezone possesses the unique ability to trap and kill Steel-types who resist Dragon-type moves, in particular the tiresome Ferrothorn, allowing the many Dragon-types of the Uber tier to fire off their otherwise unresisted STAB moves much more freely. With good defenses, as well as resistances to Dragon-, Dark-, and Ghost-type moves and the BoltBeam combination, Magnezone can switch in on a multitude of attacks. However, it does have a few notable weaknesses, including a 4x weakness to Ground-type attacks, so proper team support is necessary to allow it to perform its role effectively.
