Hmmm... Bronzong is basically a slower version of Skarmory with better Special Defense, but not as cool as Skarm. Skarmory has the perfect setup: Spikes, Whirlwind, repeat. Always use Whirlwind over Roar, because you'll be SOL and JWF if you come across a Soundproof Pokemon. Also, while Stealth Rock hits all Pokemon (as opposed to Spikes), if you get three spikes laid out, it does nearly 1/4 damage to every non-flying/non-levitating Poke that comes in.
Only use Magnezone if you really fear Skarmory, since the only thing it does is kill Skarmory. Also, go with a Timid nature... don't yell at me, people! Hear me out.
If you go with a Timid nature, and max EVs in Speed along with Special Attack, not only will Magnezone be able to kill Skarmory, but he will also turn into a decent Metagross killer. Very few standard Metagrosses have maxed EVs in Speed (standard is around 106), so with a Timid nature and maxed EVs, it's a near guarantee that Magnezone will outrun a non-Agilitied Metagross and be able to shoot of a Magnet Rise before Metagross Earthquakes him to death. All you gotta do then is watch as Metagross struggles to KO you, which won't happen (barring the possible use of Hammer Arm), but even then Magnezone's Thunderbolt will be a 2KO on Metagross.
Just my 2cents!
