Since I already have pros and cons of Ampharos earlierAmpharosPros115 SpA and good Bulk.Usable ability in Static.Good movepool in Thunderbolt, Power Gem, Dragon Pulse, Signal Beam, and Volt Switch.ConsBad 55 Base Speed.Have to trade it into Sun and Moon.

MagnezoneProsNice Ability in Sturdy to guarantee an Attack.Great SpA at 130 and good Bulk in 70/115/90Great typing gives it 11 Resistances, 1 immunity and only 3 Weaknesses.Good STABs in Flash Cannon and Thunderbolt.Cons4x weak to Ground.Only other Coverage is Tri Attack.

I would go with Magnezone for that great typing and better Special Attack, but here are movesets for both.Magnezone@ MagnetSturdy Ability- Thunderbolt- Flash Cannon- Volt Switch- Tri-Attack

Ampharos @ Magnet or anything reallyStatic Ability-Thunderbolt-Power Gem-Dragon Pulse-Signal Beam/Focus Blast

Definitely Ampharos, because Magnazone has a 4x ground weakness. If you can somehow fix that problem, like giving it an air balloon, then Magnazone has good stats, and OK coverage, so you really could do either.
