It’s an exciting time to be a Pokemon Go player at the moment with Niantic regularly releasing limited-time missions and exclusive rewards. They even added a special event for the recently released Pokemon Snap game, boosting the spawn rates of various Lental region Pokemon.

However, despite all of the new content, there are still a few Pokemon in-game that players struggle to catch. One, in particular, is the Electric and Steel-type Magnezone.
