PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Magneton’s best fast move is Spark, followed by Thunder Shock and Charge Beam.

  • Discharge’s increased flexibility and higher energy efficiency put it over Zap Cannon.

  • Magnet Bomb is superior to Flash Cannon, though neither synergize with Magneton’s fast moves.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Charge Beam is the best fast move on defense due to higher DPS and energy gain.

  • Discharge and Magnet Bomb require low enough energy to be reliably used on defense, although they are easy to dodge.

  • Zap Cannon and Flash Cannon do not work well with Magneton’s awful durability.

PVE Overview

Magneton has a nifty typing with 12 resistances that sadly cannot compensate for its bad defensive stats. It can function as an Electric-type attacker, with high Atk and passable moves, but Magneton will more likely be sitting on the bench, waiting for Gen 4 to roll around so that it can evolve and fix its problems.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Thunder Shock + Discharge and Magnet Bomb

This is the most popular moveset for Magneton, and it's finally not legacy anymore. Thunder Shock is the best fast move due to its superior energy generation.

Discharge isn't a terrific move, but sporting a lower energy cost than Zap Cannon makes it more accessible. Magnet Bomb offers Steel-type coverage, but is also a stronger choice during neutral matchups.
