How come Bronzong has Levitate and Magnezone doesn't?

Question

They are both floating in mid air. I was told Pokemon like this has the Levitate ability
Examples

• Hydreigon
• Gastly
• Haunter
  Another thing, how on EARTH does Gengar have Levitate?

Comments

Do not forget that Magnezone can learn Magnet Rise, which like a temporary Levitate.

Answer 1

That's just the way the Game Designers wanted it I suppose.
Besides, Magnezone has sturdy and magnet pull already, it would have been nice to cut out it's 4x weakness to ground though. Or at least have it as a DW ability, I guess not.

Perhaps the game designers thought that Gengar could have the ability to levitate on command and didn't really have a good substitute at the time. Unless you ask them directly no one really knows.

Okay, thanks!

Cursed Body would have been WAY better for Gengar.

Answer 2

To make it fair for others.
Here's what i mean....

magnezone has good stats, and the most no. of resistances. so to make it fair for others, magnezone does not have levitate so that the opponent has a chance as well.http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/35605/which-pokemon-have-the-most-resistances-immunities

This answer has the best point.
12 resistances and 2 immunitys after levitate....... 3 types hit neutrally or super effective
