Hey, sorry for taking so long! I wanted to build something that took advantage of Magnezone's niche and not just a standard team with Magnezone as filler, which took a while. Specs Magnezone is sadly not very good right now in my opinion, Specs Analytic is a worse Toxtricity while Magnet Pull doesn't really trap anything that IronPress doesn't, however
A floor Mat you can try Specs too with this team if you want. Seeing as the set
Fusion Flare posted was perfect for trapping Steelix, Metagross, and Registeel, while it didn't trap Cobalion or Durant, I knew I wanted to pair it with something that took advantage of that, which led me to DD Regidrago. DD Regidrago is a very underrated sweeper that is able to break through the special set's most common counter, Togekiss, with extreme ease. After this I added Zarude to chip away at Cobalion and Togekiss for Regidrago, while also giving me great resistances and the start of a pivoting core. Following this, I added Thundurus as another way of taking advantage of Steelix being trapped by Magnezone, it also has amazing synergy with Zarude which was an added bonus. Now I needed rocks and a Zarude switch-in of my own, so Cobalion was a pretty obvious answer to these issues, while continuing the theme of volturn. Lastly, I wanted an additional Fire resist, another fighting resist and also an electric check, which really only left Noivern as an option, luckily, it would fit great here even if those resistances were unnecessary.
As this team doesn't have a volt immunity, you have to play aggressively against Xurkitree and Raikou. You could fix this by going Zygarde instead of Regidrago, but that leads me back to Magnezone becoming a filler, instead of an integral part of the team.






Here was another attempt at Magnezone, in tests, it's been an extremely fun team to play, but I don't think its as good as the other one, but there's no harm in posting it as well. Won't explain the team, follows similar structures as the prior one, if you have any questions about it, hmu on discord/ru chat.
