Set Description
=============
Magnezone's most consistent STAB move is Thunderbolt, which it should use against Keldeo, Tornadus, and Porygon-Z. Flash Cannon should be used against Rock-types like Choice Band Rhyperior and Choice Band Terrakion. Hidden Power Rock nails Volcarona; however, some Volcarona with Flame Charge can still win. Charge Beam can beat Choice Scarf Cresselia, while Thunder is better against bulky Zapdos variants and Choice Band Arcanine.

EVs
=============
Magnezone runs 252 Special Attack EVs to have better odds to 2HKO Psychic Gem and Steel Gem Metagross that do not have Earthquake. Magnezone runs 252 Speed EVs and a Timid nature to outspeed Latios, Latias, and +1 Volcarona that has no Speed investment.

Usage Tips
=============
Magnezone can either reliably OHKO or 2HKO many Pokemon, but this can be interrupted by priority moves, Custap Berry, faster Choice Scarf users, and moves that either boost or lower Speed. When deciding between clicking Thunder and Thunderbolt, it is important to factor in Thunder's lower accuracy and not automatically commit to it due to the theoretically higher damage output.

Usage Tips
=============
Magnezone is strong against Pokemon that it can either reliably OHKO or 2HKO, but this can be interrupted by priority moves, Custap Berry, faster choice scarf users and moves that either boost or lower Speed. Magnezone should often click the move that does the most damage. When deciding between Thunder and Thunderbolt, it is important to take into account the lower accuracy of Thunder; if the odds of a KO using Thunderbolt are higher than the chance that Thunder hits, it is important for Magnezone to use Thunderbolt over Thunder.

Flash Cannon should be used against Rock types like Choice Band Rhyperior and Choice Band Terrakion. Hidden Power Rock should be used against Volcarona; however, some Volcarona with Flame Charge can still win. Charge Beam should i'd say can instead of should because its a slash be used against and like to beat instead of used against Choice Scarf Cresselia, while Thunder is better against bulky Zapdos variants and Choice Band Arcanine.

EVs
=============
Magnezone runs 252 Special Attack EVs to have better odds against Psychic Gem (I assume you meant this and not the move Psychic?) or Steel Gem Metagross by using Metagross, hopefully 2HKOing with (I imagine? if not, change as needed) Thunderbolt. Magnezone runs 252 Speed EVs and a Timid nature to outspeed Latios, Latias, and +1 Volcarona that has no Speed investment.

When deciding between clicking Thunder and Thunderbolt, it is important to take into account the lower accuracy of Thunder; if the odds of a KO using Thunderbolt are higher than the chance that Thunder hits, it is important for Magnezone to use Thunderbolt over Thunder. factor in Thunder's lower accuracy, and not automatically commit to Thunder just because a damage calculator displays a higher KO percentage. (a bit informal but not unacceptably so and gets the point across well imo. if you don't love it for voice reasons, you can change or we can talk about it)
