Best Magnezone Decks

A Magnezone deck must identify its final evolution. Magnezone B1a-026 has 150 HP: Mirror Shot costs one Lightning and two Colorless for 90 damage, then the Defending Pokémon flips to attack next turn; tails stops that attack. Magnezone ex B3-054 has 180 HP and attacks for 130 with three Lightning, discarding one. The mixed Magnezone build contains both; they do not offer the same attack or point liability.

In a Magnezone deck, Magneton A1-098 can attach one Lightning from the Energy Zone to itself once during your turn. Evolving it into B1a-026 removes access to that printed ability. If you need that attachment this turn, charge first. Keeping another Magneton unevolved preserves a charging option, at the cost of leaving an 80-HP Pokémon instead of the 150-HP evolution.

A Magnezone Miraidon deck can collect the board's Energy with Miraidon ex B3a-019 when played from hand onto the Bench. Choosing the switch into the Active Spot moves all your Energy in play onto it. Hadron Ray costs three Colorless and deals 20 plus 20 per attached Lightning: three Lightning means 80, five means 120. Check the damage before emptying the other attackers.

The Garchomplucario123 Magnezone example uses two Oricorio; its Safeguard blocks attack damage from opposing Pokémon ex to itself, not to the whole board. The Brendon68 Magnezone example uses two Zeraora instead. Zeraora attaches Lightning at the end of your first turn; drawing it later does not restart that timing. These submissions show different card choices, not a measured advantage.

Lisia can find two random Basic Pokémon with 50 HP or less. The Magnezone deck's 50-HP Magnemite qualifies; Magneton does not. Clemont searches two random cards among Magneton, Heliolisk and Clemont's Backpack. It does not directly find Magnezone. Removing either search card loses its particular route into the evolution line.

The Pikachu Magnezone deck uses Pikachu ex C1-043: 120 HP, a one-Lightning attack for 30, and a 130-damage attack costing two Lightning and one Colorless that discards two Lightning. Magnezone ex discards one for its 130. Ordinary B1a-026 does not print an Energy discard on Mirror Shot. Compare the remaining Energy as well as the damage; a Knocked Out ex gives the opponent two points.

The November 4 Garchomplucario123 Magnezone deck has a 2-2-2 Magnemite line, two Oricorio and one Miraidon ex. The October 29 Brendon68 example has a 2-2-1 line, two Miraidon ex and two Zeraora. Muh15's October 31 Pikachu example uses one Magnezone; FabioWasTaken's August 28 mixed example uses one ordinary and one ex. Those are individual 20-card submissions, not universal copy recommendations.
