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.

Ability- Sturdy

1) Rain Dance
2) Thunder
3) Flash Cannon
4) Magnet Rise

Rain dance makes thunder a sure hit for five turns. Flash cannon has STAB and magnet rise covers ground moves and grants your teammate to use moves like bulldoze and earthquake freely for five turns. Evoilite raises def. and special def. by alot also.

Nature: Timid
EVs: HP 4 Sp. Atk 252 Spd 252
Ability: Sturdy
Item: Eviolite / Zap Plate if using Shock Wave

Zap Cannon: Auto-paralyze and STAB
Flash Cannon: STAB
Shock Wave / Thunderbolt: Lord over double-teamers with SW's STAB and Zap Plate for total base power 102 or Thunderbolt for reliable powerful electric move
Tri Attack: burn, paralyze or freeze; cool move

If you use Shock Wave with this set, you have 1 move from all the first 4 gens! It works well too, hate double teamers.

Alright. Magneton: the original beast magnet from the original game.
What is there to say about it? Well, it's three magnets. Pretty strong magnets! This trio is devastating if used right. That is why I propose this:

Bulky Eviolite Magneton:

EV's: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 4 Defense
Item: Eviolite
Nature: Calm (+ Sp. def, - attack)
Ability: Your Choice, preferably Analytic
Moveset:

Thunderbolt/ Thunder
Flash Cannon
Light Screen/Reflect
Toxic/Thunder Wave

Try it out! You never know how much it could help your team.
