About Magnezone
Comparing moves from most common electric or steel types :
VOLTWITCH
Electro Web OKAY
BOLT STRIKE, 1600 really? HOW AMAZING MOVE.
ELECTRO SPIN 1200? REALLY?
Metal sound? maybe OKAY fine.
Conclusion: Probably the damage from each move its not the wrong thing or the main mistake zelrick or torment did on this pokemon, but he still need to have a better damage at volt switch. The main problem from magnezone is that you removed 2 of the best moves this pokemon had /Thunder & Metal Burts, they hit 2k in 1x and 3k in 1x, and you added 2 new moves that only made him bad, because magnezone is like fighting to any pokemon with 10 moves vs 12 moves, the damage they make doesnt even reach the 2k , its a very poor damage and very dificult moves to execute in a real pvp battle.
I have tested today 6 hours and this pokemon at lvl 130 with reflect and doom desire, Its not able to defeat pokemons like
PoryZ, Snorlax, Bannet, Smeargle, Gardevoir, Salamences, Dragonites, Kingdras, Politoed, Empoleons, scizors, Corsolas, and grass pokemons like Cacturne[ are you fucking kidding me?]. Before with iron defese was 10-20% better but still really bad.
I'm not pretending that my pokemon gets better but to torment and more specially to Zelrick, im doing my best to give every posible argument in this thread, same as you, i spend important hours of my life for doing things like this, and im not being paid, but insulted by you everytime you want. This time i ask you please, correct magnezone, it's a very bad pokemon that really need to become better, all those pokemons i said are the most common to see in pvp, and imagine that Steelix, Lucario, Flygon and Swampert are the other part, so, When Magnezone will be usefull? should i expect a pidgeot or Masquerian to finally see my magnezone as useful? Smeargle with only brick break and 4-5 1x moves can defeat mangnezone faster than a lucario, what are you going to do to stop this too?

Description
But in game, magnezone is still the most weak pokemon in game.
Note: bolt strike needs to be close of enemy to make it happen, its not like hex that can be used in distance.
Raichu can defeat dragonites with only 5 moves being a battle of 1x vs 1x.
Magnezone to defeat dragonite needs to use almost 12 moves of course, including tms, being a battle of 1x vs 1/2, and if dragonite has brick, can defeat magnezone with 6-7 moves, really a bad joke.
