Pokémon Go: Magneton – these 15 counters resist its attraction!

While Magneton doesn’t seem as strong at first in Pokémon Go, its Magnezone evolution is a good teammate when it comes to raids and bosses that are weak to Electric! Magnezone’s electric attacks really pack a punch, so the Magneton Raid is a must-try to eventually have one or more good Magnezones in your collection.

By the way: In order to further develop Magneton into Magnezone, you need a magnetic lure module – either you have one yourself or you keep an eye open at Community Days to see whether other trainers have used such a lure module. Next up are the best counters for fighting Magneton in Pokémon Go!

Magneton as a raid boss

Magneton has two types: Electric and Steel. The most effective type against this type combination is Ground, so this type’s attacks really pack a punch. If you fight Magneton in sunny weather or clear skies, Ground-type attacks will be boosted. In addition, you can also use attackers with Fighting (boosted when the sky is overcast) or Fire (boosted when the sky is sunny or clear) attacks. Magneton is slightly stronger at 19,370 CP, but the pocket monster can still be defeated by a single trainer. If the electroshocks are getting to you more than you care to admit, slip into the raid with a few other trainers and you’ve got the thing in your pocket. Below you will find the best attackers against Magneton.
