Strategy Overview

Magneton's excellent offensive Electric / Steel typing make it a force to be reckoned with, allowing it to hit nearly every Pokemon in the tier for at least neutral damage, with select exceptions such as Mega Camerupt and Seismitoad. Magneton works the best on offensive and balanced builds and possesses the ability to function in a VoltTurn core. All of Magneton's abilities are of great assistance to it, whether it be through the extra power Analytic brings, the ability to take a hit with Sturdy, or the ability to trap an opposing Steel-type with Magnet Pull. Furthermore, Magneton can work as one of the best offensive Braviary, Fletchinder, and Vivillon checks. However, because of its mediocre Speed tier, many faster Pokemon can revenge kill Magneton. Furthermore, it has a crippling 4x weakness to Ground-type attacks and a weakness to Fire- and Fighting-type moves. Ground-types also stop Magneton from actively using Volt Switch and Thunderbolt. Finally, Magneton has relatively poor bulk.
