Rate my Magneton
 
Magneton/Neutrino @ Cheri Berry {+sp. attack/ -speed} I know I should have lowered attack instead, but I was lazy after capturing 10 magnemite without that nature :tired:

Ability: Magnet Pull

EVs: maxed out Sp. Attack... the rest on Defense and Special Defense

Moves:
Shock Wave - used for those freaking double team annoyers
Thunder - taking advantage of free rain dance due to my Kyogre in my team
Metal Sound - very useful for high sp. defense tankers and thanks to Magneton's very high sp. attack, a thunder can take out the opponent in one hit
Thunder Wave - since Magneton is slow and has a chance of the opponent being paralyze

I know this moveset doesn't work absolutely on ground type pokemon, but what can a little Magneton that only learns electric moves as sp. attack?? I don't like using Hidden Power because I'm extremely lazy to see in pokefor.tk what type it is and how much power it has....

without HP you might as well ditch it for a Manectric or some other electric types ^^; Magneton is super useless without HP.

well... taking out the HP Lazyness of mine.... what do you think about this moveset?? I'm obviously switching when some ground types or lanturns appear... i don't worry about electric types, since I took down many grass pokemon using metal sound... also using this moveset, my former magnemite lv. 27 took out a lv. 38 magneton in one thunder after I used metal sound 3 times...

because that lvl 38 Magneton stands there to really do nothing, as it's not using metal sound in return and then hit you with an attack.

Magneton- [speed or sp.atk + / atk -] @ quick claw
EV: speed and sp.atk
-thunderbolt
-HP Grass
-metal sound
-thunderwave/reflect

well... i don't think much electric types have metal sound, right?? =D but I will try and see if luck comes that the magneton I have right now learn an useful HP special.... hope it isn't HP electric or HP physical... hehe
