Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
speaking of analytic magneton its pretty cool on specs too, you lose the bulk that specially defensive has but analytic works when the opponent switches too, making it even harder to safely switch in on specsmag
Yeah i've been using a specially defensive set CherubAgent posted and its been doing quite well for me, those resistances are pretty core against say Escavalier, Choice Locked Druddigon, Blizzard spammers, etc.
even with nidoqueen in the tier it ended up moving up to C rank a bit later when durant returned to the tier because of its ability to reliably revenge kill it with the scarf set and dispose of Escavalier, Ferroseed, and Klinklang as well.
I dont think magneton was ever in E rank actually lol, the lowest Magneton ever was was D rank, and that was because the thread used to be run by another user who strongly disliked it+some people overreacted to queen's presence in the tier and thought she made magneton completely unusable
Rain, because his only weakness to Fire is neutered when it is in effect. He's also decent on Sand teams as a great counter to Dragons and a decent check to RP Landorus since it can tank a Focus Blast and OHKO back with HP Ice if it carries it. RP Landorus is quite devastating to Sand teams, so Bronzong is a nice defense to have against it.
