How do I get a Magnezone in SoulSilver?

Question

I've been trying to get a Magnezone for my team and I got a Magneton from an in-game trade with a Metal Coat. I thought that's how they evolved into Magnezone.

Answer 1

Unfortunately not. You can get Magnemite and Magneton, but you can only get Magnezone by leveling up Magneton at Mt. Coronet, which is in Sinnoh.

If you have Diamond/Pearl/Platinum then you can trade to that, evolve it, and trade back. That's the only way.
