<p>This set attempts to make up for Magnezone's abysmal speed and allow it to make use of that amazing base 130 Special Attack. Its nice Steel typing allows it to come in on many attacks-specifically, moves such as Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash from Choice-item using steel types. From there, they can do nothing but be annihilated by Thunderbolt or Hidden Power Fire. Beware, though, as many Steels carry Earthquake, which will dominate Magnezone's 4x weakness. 
Close Combat on Lucario and Superpower from Scizor will also majorly hurt, so watch out for those.</p>

<p>The EVs and nature given allow you to outspeed max Speed non-Scarfed base 110s, most notably Gengar. Thunderbolt is an easy way to punish LO Gengar, although with the absurd number of Gengar running Substitute, you may want to switch in on that particular opponent with caution. The maximizing of Special Attack is an obvious choice. Swapping in a Modest Nature gives you a 10% power boost, although it brings your speed down to 329, still enough to outspeed non-scarf base 100s such as Jirachi and Salamence.</p>

<p>Thunderbolt is the main powerful STAB for this set. The Hidden Power used will vary based on what you want to KO with it: Fire for Steel Types, Ice for Dragons) although CM Latias will easily beat out your HP Ice assuming it has Recover), and Ground for Heatran and Steels not named Bronzong or Skarmory. It's important to note that Scizor takes, at most, 86.4% from any Thunderbolt, and will only take an average of 71.3% from Timid Magnezone's Thunderbolt, so take that into consideration when deciding the Hidden Power type. Explosion is a great fun way to take out Magnezone when it's low on health, although it won't be effective against Steels. Toxic is another option to break walls like Swampert and Cresselia who will completely shut down this set otherwise. Flash Cannon will 2HKO Mamoswine and Tyranitar who expect a Thunderbolt, although Scarfed variations of both are generally faster than this set.</p>
