Giga Drain>Energy Ball on Galvantula assuming this is a planned Black 2 Team, otherwise Energy Ball is fine.

Overheat>Signal Beam on Manectric.

Superpower>Return on Luxray.

Flamethrower>Rock Slide on Eelektross.

Zebstrika
Item Life Orb?
Nature Adamant
Ability Motor Drive/Sap sipper(Might be available via trade due to b2/w2 release in japan)
EVs 252 Attack/252 Speed/4 HP
Move Set
Wild Charge
Flame Charge
Return
Thunder Wave

Only a minor suggestion and hardley useful or reasonable.

Galvantula
Item Life Orb
Nature Timid
Ability Compoundeyes
EVs 252 Special Attack/252 Speed/4 HP
Move Set
Thunder
Bug Buzz
Energy Ball
Hidden Power Ice/U-turn/Thunderwave/Toxic

Good use of compoundeyes the final option is for switching out to a counter while dealing damage or causing status.

Stunfisk
Item Leftover
Nature Calm
Ability Static
EVs 196 HP/92 Defense/108 Special Attack/112 Special Defense
Move Set
Thunderbolt
Earth Power
Scald
Hidden Power Ice/Protect

Nothing to add or change except Protect.

Magnetric
Item Choice Specs/Choice Scraf
Nature Timid/Modest
Ability Lightningrod
EVs 252 Special Attack/252 Speed/4 HP
Move Set
Thunderbolt
Flamethrower
Hidden Power Ice/Switharoo
Signal Beam?/Switharoo

Switcharoo could be used for ingame(maybe) Weird thing is whenever I try to steal an item with trick ingame I don't get to keep the item after the battle and my old item comes back.

Luxray
Item Choice Band/Choice Scraf
Nature Adamant
Ability IntimidateGuts
EVs 252 Attack/252 Speed/4 HP
Move Set
Wild Charge
Crunch
Ice Fang
Return

Luxray gets guts which can be helpful with a 50% boost toward atk if you get burned or poisoned(burn atk drop is not applied to guts pokemon so you get protection againest the burn and a boost from guts.)

Eelektross
Item Leftover
Nature Brave/Quiet
Ability Levitate
EVs 252 HP/252 S.def/4 Def
Move Set
Wild Charge
Crunch/Flamethrower
Rock Slide/Coil
Dragon Claw/Return/Coil

Coil boost atk def and accuracy in one move by one stage and Flamethrower handles steel types. That gives you perfect accuracy rock slide after one boost and improved attacking power. The change in EVs is to maximize your S.def. The nature is to allow you the use of flamethrower without lowering you atk(This pokemon is too slow to worry about being any slower.)

I wouldn't recommend using choice items in-game. It is just not very comfortable, and is mostly flow-breaking.

You can change Pokemon in in-game by just beating one of your opponent Pokemon, so it is not that hard to use. Still need more suggestion about some Pokemon.

I'd have Double Kick > Thunder Wave on Zebstrika. Most electric types are too frail to pull it off, and they don't need it.

You need to have 252 hp and 252 s.def for Max bulk with coil the last 4-6 EVs can go into atk, def, or s.atk also change the nature on Eelectross. Adamant nature weakens flamethrower due to the s.atk drop so Quiet or Brave if you want to use it. Quiet increase flamethrowers power a little while Brave boost your atk higher so when you use coil you deal more damage.

Dragon claw is better then Rock slide for 4 reasons.

1. Eelectross is slow so having a chance to flinch is pointless so the added power is better.

2. Rock slide has imperfect accuracy so Dragon claw is more reliable.

3. Flamethower hits bugs and ice types for super effective while Wild charge hits flying types for super effective making the coverage provided by Rock slide pointless.

4. Heatran is the only pokemon who is not hit for at least Neutral damage by both fire and dragon type moves(the exception being pokemon who have Mold breaker, Terravolt, or Turboblaze since those abilities negate flash fire.) With Dragon claw and Flamethrower you hit every unova pokemon for Neutral or super effective damage and with Wild charge you hit all pokemon for Neutral damage.

Keep Eelektross (even if it is ugly) because Magnezone doesn't get enough coverage without Hidden Power.

^ I just ran a flash cannon/thunderbolt/volt switch/zap cannon in my monoteam xD was quite funny.
but back to topic, if you plan to integrate BW2 move tutors, magnet also gets signal beam as 'coverage'... yeah, not that overwhelming, I know.

and I also used nearly the same eelektross set, and I have to say taht flamethrower was quite underwhelming imo.
again, if you plan with move tutors, eelektross will get drain punch, which would be quite cool along coil, and would also give a way to hurt steels without recoil.

You should go for Tri Attack or Signal beam over Return on Mangezone.
