Magearna^{(JPJapanese: マギアナ

Romaji: Magearna)} is a Steel/Fairy Mythical Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It was the first Pokémon of the seventh generation revealed.

Physiology & Behavior[]

Magearna is a metallic, bipedal, and artificial Pokémon that is made up primarily of spheres. Its head is a medium-sized sphere with a slight point in the back. Around Magearna's head is a gear with seven teeth, although the gear does not cover its chin. It has two large, rabbit-like ears with gold rims; a tiny nose and mouth; and light red eyes with pinkish ovals in the center. In the centers of the ovals are white crosses, and thin gold wiring encircles each eye with two small prongs similar to eyelashes. The rabbit-like ears appear to be two halves of a large disc held together by a hinge at the top. In the center of Magearna's body, there lies an orb-shaped object called the "Soul-Heart", which is Magearna's true self. The Soul-Heart is mostly light blue, but is divided by a thick gray band, and in the front center of the band lies a circular depression that is half-blue and half-pink. Above and below the depression, in the light blue portions, is a yellow, diamond-shaped marking. On either side of its upper body is a large, spherical shoulder with thin upper arms that lead to large, claw-shaped forearms and slightly pointed hands. Its lower body is a much larger sphere that resembles a ball gown. There is a pair of golden, wavy lines on each side of this sphere, which is divided down the front and back by a gray line. In the back, there is a solid gold ring with a hole in the center at the bottom of this line. The front has a gold ring as well, but it is broken at the top and bottom and has a shield shape in the center. Metal plates similar to the ruffles of a dress adorn the bottom of its lower body. It has two pointed legs.

Magearna was created by a scientist as a gift to royalty, specifically to a king's daughter 500 years ago. The Soul-Heart in its chest is an artificial soul that was created by the scientist by collecting life energy from other Pokémon. Due to Magearna's ability to feel other's pain, it will try as hard as it can to save injured Pokémon. It can even perceive the emotions, thoughts, or feelings of other Pokémon as well. When it falls asleep or when it is sad, Magearna can take on the appearance of a Poké Ball.

Original Color Magearna[]

Original Color Magearna's upper body and legs were mostly painted gold instead of silver, with the exception of the gear around its head, which remained silver. Its ears and the top half of its lower body were painted red, while the bottom half remained white, matching the coloration of an ordinary Poké Ball.

This is the coloration Magearna had back when it was created. Its vivid coloring made the king's daughter very pleased with the gift. As years went by, the paint on Magearna's body decomposed, which its standard appearance, where most of its body is silver.

Appearances[]

In the anime[]

Magearna made its primary appearance in the 19th movie, Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel. During the film, it was kidnapped, with Volcanion setting out to rescue it.

Origin[]

Magearna is likely based on a karakuri puppet and a rabbit. It also may be inspired by a nursemaid, a young woman that would care and look after children within the community of a large household, having historically worked in medieval castles. The gear around Magearna's head also resembles a maid's headdress as well as its central body looking similar to the common wear for a maid, such as its arms looking like long, puffed sleeves and the black divide near the end of its "gown" bearing resemblance to the end of an apron. The rabbit ears and the yellow crescents on its body may refer to the moon rabbit legend.
