Magnezone is a fairly powerful Electric and Steel-type in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and teaching it the best moves will help it succeed in battle. Since it's an Electric and Steel-type Pokémon, teaching it those types of moves will give it a Same Type Attack Bonus. This is a bonus that is active for every Pokémon, regardless of whether they have two typing or just one. In the case of Magnezone, it remains an Electric and Steel-type throughout all of its evolutionary stages. Before selecting the best moveset, trainers will need to find one first.
Magnezone can be found in Celesetic Trail, Cabled Springs, and Clamberclaw Cliffs flying above the air. It will be nearly impossible to obtain them without the Jet Balls in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. These types of Poké Balls can be thrown much faster than the rest, making it easier to hit Magnezone while it's flying by. Alternatively, trainers can find a Magnemite or Magneton in Space-Time Distortions. They exclusively spawn in Colbat Coastlands and once the player captures Magneton, they can evolve it in Coronet Highlands. It can only be done in this location due to the magnetic pull in the area, an electric rock will help Magneton reach its final form with Magnezone.
After successfully obtaining a Magnezone, the best moves for it will be Thunder, Thunderbolt, Tri Attack, and Flash Cannon. Magnezone's biggest stat is a special attack stat, meaning trainers should teach it those moves to help it perform in battle. Not only that, but its physical defense and special defense stats are fairly high as well. Overall, this makes Magnezone incredibly strong and able to withstand powerful attacks, but on the downside, its speed stat is much lower.
The Best Moveset For Magnezone in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
- Thunder: A thunderbolt is dropped on the target to inflict damage. This may also leave the target with paralysis.
- Thunderbolt: The user attacks the target with a strong electric blast. This may also leave the target with paralysis.
- Tri Attack: The user strikes with a simultaneous three-beam attack. This may also leave the target with a burn, paralysis, or frostbite.
- Flash Cannon: The user gathers all its light energy and releases it at once. This may also lower the target’s defensive stats.
While Magnamite, Magneton, and Magnezone are powerful Pokémon that work well on any team, it is incredibly weak to Ground-type attacks and it will take substantial damage from Fire and Fighting-type attacks. Regardless, most of these moves have the ability to paralyze opponents. Not only does this potentially prevent them from attacking for a turn, but their speed stat is also cut in half. This makes Magnezone's lack of speed less of an issue during critical battles.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is available now on Nintendo Switch.
