In-game information

Pokédex entries

Title	Entry
First Pokémon generation
Pokémon Red and Blue	Uses anti-gravity to stay suspended. Appears without warning and uses Thunder Wave and similar moves.
Pokémon Yellow	It is born with the ability to defy gravity. It floats in air on powerful electromagnetic waves.
Pokémon Stadium	Appears as if out of nowhere. It floats using anti-gravity and discharges electricity from two side-mounted units.
Second Pokémon generation
Pokémon Gold	It is attracted by electromagnetic waves. It may approach trainers if they are using their Pokégear.
Pokémon Silver	The units at the sides of its body generate anti-gravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.
Pokémon Crystal	The electricity emitted by the units on each side of its body cause it to become a strong magnet.
Third Pokémon generation
Pokémon Ruby	Magnemite attaches itself to power lines to feed on electricity. If your house has a power outage, check your circuit breakers. You may find a large number of this Pokémon clinging to the breaker box.
Pokémon Sapphire	Magnemite floats in the air by emitting electromagnetic waves from the units at its sides. These waves block gravity. This Pokémon becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted.
Pokémon Emerald	The units at its sides are extremely powerful magnets. They generate enough magnetism to draw in iron objects from over 300 feet away.
Pokémon FireRed	It moves while constantly hovering. It discharges Thunder Wave and so on from the units at its sides.
Pokémon LeafGreen	Uses antigravity to stay suspended. Appears without warning and uses Thunder Wave and similar moves.
Fourth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Diamond	The units at its sides generate electromagnetic waves that keep it airborne. It feeds on electricity.
Pokémon Pearl	The units at its sides generate electromagnetic waves that keep it airborne. It feeds on electricity.
Pokémon Platinum	The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate.
Pokémon HeartGold	It is attracted by electromagnetic waves. It may approach trainers if they are using their Pokégear.
Pokémon SoulSilver	The units at the sides of its body generate antigravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.
Fifth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Black	The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate.
Pokémon White	The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate.
Pokémon Black 2	The electromagnetic waves emitted by the units at the sides of its head expel antigravity, which allows it to float.
Pokémon White 2	The electromagnetic waves emitted by the units at the sides of its head expel antigravity, which allows it to float.
Sixth Pokémon generation
Pokémon X	The units at the sides of its body generate antigravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.

Pokémon Omega Ruby	Magnemite attaches itself to power lines to feed on electricity. If your house has a power outage, check your circuit breakers. You may find a large number of this Pokémon clinging to the breaker box.
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire	Magnemite floats in the air by emitting electromagnetic waves from the units at its sides. These waves block gravity. This Pokémon becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted.
Seventh Pokémon generation
Pokémon Sun	They gather in places where electricity is available. They can be found clinging to the steel towers used to support power lines.
Pokémon Moon	It sends out electromagnetic waves, which let it float through the air. Touching it while it's eating electricity will give you a full-body shock.
Pokémon Ultra Sun	It's frequently the cause of power outages, which is why some power plants send out electrical signals that it can't stand.
Pokémon Ultra Moon	Perhaps because electrical lines are often buried these days, the number of Magnemite attacks on power plants has increased.
Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu	It is hatched with the ability to defy gravity. It floats while emitting powerful electromagnetic waves.
Pokémon Let's Go Eevee	It is hatched with the ability to defy gravity. It floats while emitting powerful electromagnetic waves.
Eighth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Sword	At times, Magnemite runs out of electricity and ends up on the ground. If you give batteries to a grounded Magnemite, it'll start moving again.
Pokémon Shield	It subsists on electricity. As Magnemite flies, it emits electromagnetic waves from the units on each side of its body.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond	The units at its sides generate electromagnetic waves that keep it airborne. It feeds on electricity.
Pokémon Shining Pearl	The units at its sides generate electromagnetic waves that keep it airborne. It feeds on electricity.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus	A bizarre Pokémon with but a single eye embedded in an iron sphere. I suspect this creature levitates due to the magnetism it emits from its arms, which resemble horseshoe-shaped magnets.
Ninth Pokémon generation
Pokémon Scarlet	The electromagnetic waves emitted by the units at the sides of its head expel antigravity, which allows it to float.
Pokémon Violet	It moves while constantly hovering. It discharges electromagnetic waves and so on from the units at its sides.

Trivia

• Magnemite and its evolved form were the first Pokémon to ever change typing with the progress of generations.
• In 2008, Japanese internet users spammed votes for Magnemite on a Yahoo! Kids poll featuring 9 Pokémon appearing in Giratina and the Sky Warrior. Since then, several Japanese Pokémon polls have received an unusual amount of votes for Magnemite, including the 2021 Pokémon of the Year poll, when it came in 1st place for Kanto Pokémon.
