Magneton is an interesting Electric and Steel-typed Pokemon. It's a usual sight to see Magneton out in the 2nd generation battlefield. Magneton is typically seen in the UU tier (Underused). There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Magneton is weak to Fighting, Fire, and Ground-typed attacks.
Magneton is a marvelous Special Sweeper. It's goal is to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Previously before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Thunderbolt is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Electric-type move (10% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Thunder Shock is a special STAB-boosted 40-base power Electric-type move (10% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Magneton this turn). ♦ Thunder Wave is a status move (paralyzes the target). ♦ Reflect is a status move (for 5 turns, your Magneton's party has doubled def).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
