Is magnezone expected to be relevent in the current meta?
With magneton raids out at the moment, I was wondering if there is any point in trying to get a bunch of them in view of magnezone when gen 4 comes out, or is raikou/zapdos still more effective as attackers?

And as long as Magnezone retains the same type as Magneton, he'll have all those resistances. If you avoid Fire, Fight, and Ground (weak to), and dark, ghost and water (neutral), he'll resist everything, and double resist flying, poison and steel. Gotta like that, even before we know the stats and moves.
Base stats with current PoGo calculations, assuming there isn't a change:
Zapdos
180 stm, 253 atk, 188 def
3330 max CP
Raikou
180 stm, 241 atk, 210 def
3349 max CP
Magnezone
140 stm, 238 atk, 217 def
2996 max CP
If Magnezone gets Thunder Shock or Spark/Thunderbolt, it would be close after adding in the few extra resistances to compensate for its lower HP.
