Charge beam or Thunderbolt for my magnezone?

Magnezone @Light clayBold natureAbility: Magnet pull-Reflect-Light screen-Charge beam / Thunderbolt-Flash cannon

Which is more useful?

NeitherThunderboltnorCharge Beamfit well into yourDual ScreenerMagnezoneSet. The best Electric Type Move for that Set isVolt Switch, as it provides Magnezone with a decent STAB that switches into the Pokemon that Reflect and Light Screen is ment to protect safely due to his Low Speed.

I also suggest usingHidden Power [Ice]in place of Flash Cannon if possible, asElectronic+Icescores excellent Coverage that hits every Pokemon for Neutral or Super Effective Damage (bar Rotom-H and opposing Magnezone).

Here is the suggested Set:

Magnezone @ LeftoversTrait: Magnet PullEVs: 200 HP / 52 Def / 4 SAtk / 252 SDefRelaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)0 Spd IVs-Volt Switch-Hidden Power [Ice]/ Flash Cannon- Reflect- Light Screen

I would say charge beam in this case. Behind the dual screens Magnezone will be able to take hits. But I suggest that you move reflect and replace it with substitute because Magnezone already has High defences and will probably get attacked specially. Behind the substitute Magnezone can start using charge beam. Every time it does so it will raise it’s own special attack. After this Magnezone will become a bit of a pain to get down if there are no powerful ground and/or fire types. I have used a Magnezone similar to yours and if I might say it did a good job :)

Hope This helped a little

Probably Thunderbolt because it is more useful on any set. Magnezone already has a high enough Special Attack and the straight power is more worth it. Charge Beam also has less accuracy plus no chance for paralysis.

Thunderbolt easily wins.
