magneton

Magneton is an Electric/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Type: Electric / Steel

Abilities:

• Magnet Pull: Prevents Steel-type Pokémon from escaping or switching out in battle.
• Sturdy: Prevents the Pokémon from being knocked out in one hit.
• Analytic (Hidden Ability): Boosts the power of moves if the Pokémon moves last.

Physical Characteristics:

• Composed of three Magnemites linked together
• Each unit has a round, metallic body with a single large eye
• Equipped with horseshoe magnets on either side
• Emits a strong magnetic force from its body
• Its body glows with a faint light when it discharges electricity

Behavior and Habitat:

• Commonly found near power plants and substations
• Known to cause power outages by feeding on electrical currents
• Often seen hovering in the air due to its magnetic properties
• Can create electromagnetic waves that disrupt electronics
• Tends to form swarms with other Magneton when in urban areas

In Battle:

• Functions as a strong special attacker with high Special Attack stats
• Signature moves: Thunderbolt, Zap Cannon, and Flash Cannon
• Effective against Water, Flying, and Fairy types
• Vulnerable to Ground, Fighting, and Fire types
• Utilizes moves like Magnet Rise to counter Ground-type weaknesses

Evolution:

• Evolves from Magnemite starting at level 30
• Evolves into Magnezone when leveled up in a location with a special magnetic field (in specific games) or when exposed to a Thunder Stone in others

Interesting Facts:

• One of the first Pokémon to gain a secondary type (Steel) in Generation II
• Its design is inspired by magnets and electromagnetism
• Known for its ability to disrupt radio and television signals
• Often used in research to study electromagnetic fields
• Features prominently in various Pokémon media, including games and anime, as a symbol of technological advancement

• Yellow: Generates strange radio signals. It raises the tem­perature by 3.6F degrees within 3,300 feet.
• Gold: Three MAGNEMITE are linked by a strong magneticforce. Earaches will occur if you get too close.
• Silver: The MAGNEMITE are united by a mag­ netism so power­ful, it dries all moisture in its vicinities.
• Crystal: When many MAGNETON gather together, theresulting magnetic storm disrupts radio waves.
• Ruby: MAGNETON emits a powerful magnetic force that is fatal to mechanical devices. As a result, large cities soundsirens to warn citizens of large-scale outbreaks of this Pokémon.
• Sapphire: MAGNETON emits a powerful magnetic force that is fatal to electronics and precision instruments. Because ofthis, it is said that some towns warn people to keep this Pokémon inside a POKé BALL.
• Emerald: It is actually three MAGNEMITE linked by magnetism. It generates powerful radio waves that raise temperatures by 3.6 degrees F within a 3,300-foot radius.
• Firered: A linked cluster formed of several MAGNEMITE. It discharges powerful magnetic waves at high voltage.
• Leafgreen: Formed by several MAGNEMITE linked together. They frequently appear when sunspots flare up.
• Diamond: It is actually three MAGNEMITE linked by magnetism. A group can set off a magnetic storm.
• Pearl: It is actually three MAGNEMITE linked by magnetism. A group can set off a magnetic storm.
• Platinum: Many mysteriously appear when more sunspots dot the sun. They stop TV sets from displaying properly.
• Heartgold: Three MAGNEMITE are linked by a strong magnetic force. Earaches will occur if you get too close.
• Soulsilver: The MAGNEMITE are united by a magnetism so powerful, it dries all moisture in its vicinity.
• Black: Many mysteriously appear when more sunspots dot the sun. They stop TV sets from displaying properly.
• White: Many mysteriously appear when more sunspots dot the sun. They stop TV sets from displaying properly.
• Black-2: The stronger electromagnetic waves from the three linked Magnemite are enough to dry out surrounding moisture.
• White-2: The stronger electromagnetic waves from the three linked Magnemite are enough to dry out surrounding moisture.
• X: A linked cluster formed of several Magnemite. It discharges powerful magnetic waves at high voltage.
• Y: Generates strange radio signals. It raises the temperature by 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit within 3,300 feet.
• Omega-Ruby: Magneton emits a powerful magnetic force that is fatal to mechanical devices. As a result, large cities sound sirens to warn citizens of large-scale outbreaks of this Pokémon.
• Alpha-Sapphire: Magneton emits a powerful magnetic force that is fatal to electronics and precision instruments. Because of this, it is said that some towns warn people to keep this Pokémon inside a Poké Ball.
• Sun: When three Magnemite link together, their brains also become one. They do not become three times more intelligent.
• Moon: It has about three times the electrical power of Magnemite. For some reason, outbreaks of this Pokémon happen when lots of sunspots appear.
• Ultra-Sun: Delicate equipment can malfunction in areas inhabited by Magneton, which send out mysterious electrical signals.
• Ultra-Moon: When rain clouds form, many Magneton gather in high places to wait for lightning to strike.
• Lets-Go-Pikachu: Generates strange radio signals. It raises the temperature by 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit within 3,300 feet.

• Sword: This Pokémon is three Magnemite that have linked together. Magneton sends out powerful radio waves to study its surroundings.
• Shield: This Pokémon is constantly putting out a powerful magnetic force. Most computers go haywire when a Magneton approaches.
• Legends-Arceus: Three Magnemite gathered to evolve into this Pokémon. The source of much vexation on my part, as its powerful magnetism destroys my research equipment.
