What's a good moveset for Magneton?

This is different, because he can be way more bulky than Magnezone due to Eviolite, and also has better Speed.

Yes you are right - Magnezone has total stats of 535, but Magneton with Eviolite has 547!

This works,

WALL:

ITem: Evoilite
EV's 252 in both Defenses

Moveset:
Toxic ( The word Wall wring a bell ? )
Protect ( For toxic )
Thunderbolt ( Pain and suffering )
Flash Cannon ( STAB )

Magneton @ Eviolite
Trait: Analytic
EVs: 128 Def / 252 SAtk / 128 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)

  • Reflect
  • Light Screen
  • Thunderbolt
  • Hidden Power [Ice]

Reflect and Light Screen not only make Magneton almost impossible to damage, it also provides team support. Thunderbolt and HP Ice get good type coverage together. It gets an even split in defenses, and 252 Attack, meaning it can do a good deal of damage. The lack of any Speed EVs also make it able to use Analytic effectively, making it even more powerful.
