Thanks to its ability Sturdy, Magnezone beats most Choice item attackers, including Galarian Darmanitan, Urshifu-R, and Crustle. Thunderbolt and Flash Cannon are Magnezone's strongest STAB options, hitting Pokemon such as Primarina, Skarmory, and Fairy-types including Sylveon and Aromatisse, alongside Unnerve Haxorus. Electroweb allows it to beat opposing Sturdy Pokemon such as non-Choice Scarf Sawk whilst providing vital speed control against Pokemon like Eerie Impulse Porygon-Z and Dracovish. Metal Sound helps beat stall Pokemon like Type: Null and defensive Rotom-W, whilst Mirror Coat is an option to beat some special attackers Magnezone would otherwise be unable to deal with, such as opposing Choice Specs Magnezone. Magnezone's defensive investment allows it to live two Outrages from Choice Band Unnerve Haxorus and Surging Strikes from Choice Band Adamant Urshifu-R, and its Speed investment allows it to outspeed Wacan Berry Urshifu-R and Choice Band Urshifu-S after an Electroweb, alongside Speed tying other base 60 Speed Pokemon.
While Magnezone beats most Water-types, Primarina can live a Thunderbolt and beat Magnezone with Torrent-boosted Sparkling Aria into Aqua Jet. So, Magnezone should use Electroweb on Turn 1 to avoid putting Primarina into Torrent range, and only then use Thunderbolt on Turn 2 for the KO. Assault Vest variants will unfortunately be able to beat Magnezone, so avoid this matchup. Against Urshifu-R, use Electroweb Turn 1, in order to beat both the common Choice Band variant and the viable Wacan Berry set, followed up by Thunderbolt. Be aware that the rare Choice Scarf Urshifu-R will require a Turn 1 Thunderbolt and will beat Magnezone if it uses Electroweb instead. While the Choice Band Rillaboom matchup seems cut and dry, Rillaboom can usually beat Magnezone without activating Weakness Policy by simply using Wood Hammer. Your opponent will have to misplay and assume a Choice Specs set. To prepare for this, always use Electroweb on the off chance that they do mispredict and use Superpower or High Horsepower. Magnezone struggles against Dragon-types such as Curse Dragapult, Mold Breaker Haxorus, Choice Scarf Dracovish, and Kommo-o. Because of this, Fairy-type partners such as Primarina and Sylveon are appreciated. They in turn enjoy Magnezone's support to deal with physical breakers such as Galarian Darmanitan and Crustle. Dragon-types such as Choice Scarf Unnerve Haxorus and Haban Berry Kommo-o are also good team options for Magnezone, being able to deal with the aforementioned Dragon-type threats that Magnezone cannot break through. In return, Magnezone beats Fairy-types like Sylveon and Aromatisse. Despite making use of Metal Sound, Magnezone is unable to KO Chansey in the 4 turns that it uses Seismic Toss. Teammates that can deal with Chansey include Fighting-types such as Urshifu-A, Sawk, and Conkeldurr, all of which subsequently appreciate Magnezone's ability to deter Fairy-types.
