Like Magnemite!

Pokedex entries:
Red/Blue: Uses antigravity to stay suspended.

Yellow: It is born with the ability to defy gravity. It floats in air on powerful electromagnetic waves.

Stadium: It floats using anti-gravity and discharges electricity from two side-mounted units.

Silver: The units at the sides of its body generate anti-gravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.

Sapphire: Magnemite floats in the air by emitting electromagnetic waves from the units at its sides. These waves block gravity. This Pokémon becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted.

FireRed: It moves while constantly hovering.

LeafGreen: Uses antigravity to stay suspended.

Diamond/Pearl: The units at its sides generate electromagnetic waves that keep it airborne.

SoulSilver: The units at the sides of its body generate antigravity energy to keep it aloft in the air

Black 2/White 2: The electromagnetic waves emitted by the units at the sides of its head expel antigravity, which allows it to float.

Magnezone really needs levitate. Or at least Magnemite/Magneton do. They levitated before levitate was an ability. Sure, it'd take out their 4x ground weakness, but that's what Mold Breaker, Gravity, Smackdown, Teravolt, and whatnot are for. Or you could hit it with a fire or fighting move.
