Magneton Pros and Cons

Ability is a Valuable Energy Acceleration

Magneton's ability allows you to attach Lightning Energy to yourself once a turn. It cannot be attached to Other Pokemon, but as there are few Energy Acceleration methods, this is a fairly powerful ability.

Works Well With Lt. Surge

The effect of Lt. Surge is to attach all Electric Energy to Active Spot Raichu, < icard data-aid="48810" data-getting="Genetic Apex Pikachu" data-cid="144">Electrode or Electabuzz all Bench Pokemon. This allows you to transfer the energy created with Magneton's ability to other Pokemon.
