In-Depth Analysis
Magneton's 465 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Special Attack (120) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 50 means careful positioning matters.
Its Electric, Steel typing leaves Magneton with 3 weaknesses against 11 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Ground moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 60 puts Magneton in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
