This page shows the strategies to successfully beat Magneton considering Magneton's possible movesets. For details of Magneton, such as evolution chart, CP and HP, tap the name of the Pokemon.

For list of moves by types, tap the name of moves below.

The combination of Thunder Shock and Discharge is considered as the best moveset for Magnetion to attack gyms.

When Magneton use only electric-type moves, Golem is the best to defeat it. While decreasing damage of electric-type moves, Golem's ground-type moves are super effective against Magneton. Additionally, Golem has higher stats along ground-type Pokemon. Note that when Magneton uses steel-type moves, Golem less work because it is weak to those moves.

When fighting against Magneton, players should make Golem learn ground-type moves. Rock-type moves are not very effective against a steel-type Pokemon.

Note: Golem lost Mud Shot!

Due to update on August 20, Golem do not learn Mud Shot. The one caught before the update can still have the move.

• Rhydon has also higher stats along ground-type Pokemon. Make it learn ground-type mvoes.

• Sandslash and Dugtrio can learn both Mud Shot, the best ground-type fast move based on DPS, and Earthquake, the best ground-type charge move.

• For list of ground-type Pokemon, tap the name of the type below.

The combination of Spark and Flash Cannon is considered as the best moveset for Magneton to defend gyms.

When Magneton use steel-type charge moves, Arcanine is the best one to beat it. Arcanine's fire-type moves are very effective against Magneton while cut damage of steel-type moves. Arcanine has higher stats along fire-type Pokemon as well as Charizard which is weak to Magneton's electric type moves.

Although Arcanine can learn Bite and Bulldoze, those moves are not preferred based on type match-up when fighting against Magneton.

• Other fire-type Pokemon also work well. Ember and Fire Blast are recommended for their moves.

• If players do not have such fire-type Pokemon, use ground-type Pokemon noted above. They can reduce damage of electric-type moves. Note that Magneton's steel-type moves are super effective against rock-type Pokemon.
