Pokémon GO: Magneton Raid Guide (Best Counters & Weaknesses)
Magneton is returning to Pokémon GO Raids, appearing at a 3-star level. The Magnemite line is not particularly rare to find in the game, but doing many Magneton Raids in succession can offer trainers a much better chance of finding it as shiny. For trainers at a high level, Magneton is an easy solo due to its 4x weakness to Ground-type moves. However, for lower-level players, two or more people might be necessary to complete it. Magneton is appearing as part of the new July Raids, with a new Pokémon GO Battle Series.
Magneton is an Electric- and Steel-type, meaning Ground-type moves will be 4x effective on it, and Fighting- and Fire-type moves will be 2x effective on it. Magneton has resistance against many types: Normal, Rock, Bug, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, and Fairy and Poison at a 1/2x rate, Flying and Steel at a 1/4x rate. Due to its excellent resistances, bringing any Pokémon besides super effective ones will not do the player much good. Instead, opt to bring only fully-evolved and high-CP Ground, Fire, or Fighting-type Pokémon.

Magneton also evolves from Magnemite and evolves into Magnezone using 100 candies in the range of a Pokéstop with a Magnetic Lure in
