Set Description
=============
Thunderbolt is Magnezone's most reliable STAB move and should be used against Keldeo, Manaphy, and Tornadus. Flash Cannon is used to beat Landorus-T, Rhyperior, and Terrakion. Hidden Power Rock is Magnezone's best way to beat Volcarona, while Metal Sound gives it a better matchup against stall Snorlax and Cresselia. Sturdy or Endure + Custap Berry allows Magnezone to delay KOs from faster Pokemon and use another move if they lack priority moves, which allows it to beat Landorus-T, Manaphy, and Chandelure.
EVs
=============
252 Special Attack EVs and a Modest nature maximize Magnezone's damage output for better odds against bulky Genesect sets. 140 Speed EVs let it outspeed Adamant Crustle. 80 HP EVs allow Magnezone to take Seismic Toss from Snorlax three times. The remaining EVs are invested in Special Defense for more favorable odds against Choice Specs Latios.
Usage Tips
=============
Custap Berry Magnezone does not have any difficult matchups to play around; it is almost always recommended to use the move that leads to the most damage. If the foe is faster and would KO Magnezone on a turn, Magnezone can use Endure to survive and force its Custap Berry to activate on the following turn, which may allow it to get an extra move off.
