Choice Specs Magnezone's ability to trap Steel-types like Celesteela, Scizor, and Skarmory thanks to Magnet Pull makes it the perfect enabler to Pokemon like Mega Gardevoir, Mega Latias, and Mega Venusaur, which usually struggle to break past these Pokemon. Hidden Power Fire guarantees the OHKO on Scizor and deals heavy damage to Excadrill switching in. Hidden Power Grass hits the few Pokemon able to withstand Magnezone's STAB combination in Gastrodon and Swampert. Toxic wears down the aforementioned Ground-types while being a more effective way to pressure Ting-Lu long-term. A Timid nature allows Magnezone to outspeed Adamant Bisharp and Mega Venusaur, but Modest can be used for extra power, notably 2HKOing specially defensive Hippowdon with Flash Cannon if the ability to outspeed said Pokemon is not needed. Choice Specs Magnezone fits best on bulky offense teams and works extremely well with Pokemon able to lure in Steel-types for it. Mienshao, U-turn Scizor, and Lokix can bring Magnezone in safely against Skarmory; Scizor in particular becomes a deadly late-game sweeper with Swords Dance and can threaten out a lot of Magnezone's revenge killers in Mienshao, Mega Aerodactyl, and Mega Gallade with Bullet Punch. Mega Latias, Mega Gardevoir, and Mega Venusaur love Celesteela being removed; in return, these Pokemon can pressure Ting-Lu, Mega Venusaur, and Amoonguss. Offensive Mega Venusaur can easily beat Ground-types trying to block Magnezone's Volt Switch like Gastrodon, Hippowdon, and Ting-Lu and usually forces Steel-types like Skarmory and Celesteela in for Magnezone to trap them. Defensive pivots like Slowbro, Slowking, and Rotom-W are good partners to handle Fighting- and Fire-types that threaten Magnezone, such as Mienshao, Iron Moth, and Victini; they can also help against Ground-types like Excadrill and Hippowdon and bring Magnezone in safely against Pokemon such as Clefable and Tapu Fini.

Toxic wears down the aforementioned Ground-types while being a more effective way to pressure Ting-Lu long-term. A Timid nature allows it to outspeed Adamant Aegislash Probably wouldn't use this example as they share the same base speed, maybe addy bisharp/scizor instead? and Mega Venusaur, but Modest can be used for extra power, notably 2HKOing specially defensive Hippowdon with Flash Cannon, if the ability to outspeed said Pokemon is not needed. Choice Specs Magnezone fits best on bulky offense teams and works extremely well with Pokemon able to lure in Steel-types for it. Mienshao, U-turn Scizor, and Lokix can bring Magnezone in safely against Skarmory; Scizor in particular becomes a deadly late-game I'm assuming sweeper with Swords Dance and can threaten out a lot of Magnezone's revenge killers in Mienshao, Mega Aerodactyl, and Mega Gallade with Bullet Punch. Mega Latias, Mega Gardevoir, and Mega Venusaur love Celesteela being removed; in return, Mega Gardevoir these Pokemon can pressures All of the above mons can do this overtime, not just garde Ting-Lu, Mega Venusaur, and Amoonguss. Offensive Mega Venusaur can easily beat Ground-types trying to block Magnezone's Volt Switch like Gastrodon, Hippowdon, and Ting-Lu and usually forces Steel-types like Skarmory and Celesteela in for Magnezone to trap them. Maybe some brief mentions of defensive pivots? like Slowbro, Rotom-W, and Blissey which can provide slow momentum and check some of the above mons for zone defensively, notably the offensive fires.
