Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Atk, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (130) is 60 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Modest +SpA · −Atk The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up power.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

TCG cards (15)

All Magnezone cards →

Magnezone has 15 cards in 11 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.

This species is genderless, so its only possible partner is Ditto.

The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
