Type/s: Electric HP: 303 Attack: 218 Defense: 288 Speed: 238 Special: 338
Thunderbolt/Thunder Thunderwave Flash/Screech Substitute/Double Edge
Magneton's solid defense and awesome special go to waste thanks to a god awful movepool. Seriously, they could have at least boosted its attack and given it Explosion. Anyways, Thunder is plausible here for the fact that you're using Magneton to begin with, and 338 STAB Thunders are going to hurt if you connect.
Specific advantages of Thunder over Thunderbolt are OHKOing Seadra, 2HKOing Lickitung, and 2HKOing Porygon. Additionally, if near max damage is achieved it will OHKO Hitmonchan (does that show Magneton's power or Hitmonchan failing at life?). Of course these advtanges don't mean much if you miss a lot.
The last two are pretty filler but have specific purposes. Flash, while having terrible accuracy can be good at supporting you and/or your teammates, and it can force a switch. Substitute is used after you spam Flash (IF you can). Screech is solely to boost the power of Double Edge, which could help against other Magnetons and you can go out with style against Marowak.
Other options: Hyper Beam in conjunction with Screech I suppose. Supersonic might be able to do something too.

Couldn't Magneton use Toxic in the last slot to deal with Ground Pokemon?

Why the hell would you use Toxic? Damn, I'd rather use Double Edge. :X
