Magnezone(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Electric/Steel Pokémon that made its first appearance in the fourth generation games Diamond and Pearl. It evolves from Magneton in a special magnetic field or using a Thunderstone. It is the final form of Magnemite.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Magnezone is a robot-like Pokémon which resembles a UFO. It's the result of Magneton leveling up in the presence of a special magnetic field. The evolution is done on a molecular level, but despite this, scientists have failed at attempts to force it. Magnezone's tough steel body is wide and circular, similar to a disc or saucer, with a thin edge circling the diameter of its body. Its main eye is in the center, containing a large, red pupil. On each side of its body, it has a ball-shaped addition, with each side containing an eye, horseshoe magnet, and Phillips head screw. These secondary eyes can move independently of its main eye. On top of its head is a tall, thin, yellow rod, closely resembling an antenna, which it uses for certain attacks. Behind its body is a third horseshoe magnet, positioned like a tail.
Magnezone's evolution is theorized to have been caused by a special magnetic field that changed the molecular structure within its body. Magnezone is a seemingly-mechanical, gender unknown creature, but it has emotions, a way of reproducing, and the need for nourishment. With its magnets, it has the ability to control anti-gravity and float through the air at will. Magnezone's anti-gravity is strong enough to carry humans with ease. Magnezone is rarely sighted in the wild. As seen in the anime, Magnezone can be very aggressive and territorial, although it will rarely attack without provocation. It flies through the night sky, often mistaken for a UFO sighting, though it seems to be receiving and sending signals from an unknown source and an unknown purpose. This leads some people to believe that Magnezone came from outer space and that it is being controlled by unknown beings.

Origin and inspiration[]
Magnezone appears to be based on the concept of a fused Magneton; one of the Magnemite taking a larger form and the remaining two Magnemite taking the forms of the smaller bodies on each side. The Magnemite evolution line seem to be based on the objectification of electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental interactions of nature. Magnezone in particular is possibly based on electromagnetic forming caused by electromagnetic fields and combined with an objectification in the form of a flying saucer or a UFO.

Title | Entry |
---|---|
Fourth Pokémon generation | |
Pokémon Diamond | It evolved from exposure to a special magnetic field. Three units generate magnetism. |
Pokémon Pearl | It evolved from exposure to a special magnetic field. Three units generate magnetism. |
Pokémon Platinum | A group tried to use scientific means to make Magnezone evolve, but their efforts ended in failure. |
Pokémon HeartGold | Exposure to a special magnetic field changed Magneton's molecular structure, turning it into Magnezone. |
Pokémon SoulSilver | Exposure to a special magnetic field changed Magneton's molecular structure, turning it into Magnezone. |
Fifth Pokémon generation | |
Pokémon Black | A group tried to use scientific means to make Magnezone evolve, but their efforts ended in failure. |
Pokémon White | A group tried to use scientific means to make Magnezone evolve, but their efforts ended in failure. |
Pokémon Black 2 | Sometimes the magnetism emitted by Magnezone is too strong, making them attract each other so they cannot move. |
Pokémon White 2 | Sometimes the magnetism emitted by Magnezone is too strong, making them attract each other so they cannot move. |
Sixth Pokémon generation | |
Pokémon X | Sometimes the magnetism emitted by Magnezone is too strong, making them attract each other so they cannot move. |
Pokémon Y | It evolved from exposure to a special magnetic field. Three units generate magnetism. |
Pokémon Omega Ruby | Sometimes the magnetism emitted by Magnezone is too strong, making them attract each other so they cannot move. |
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire | It evolved from exposure to a special magnetic field. Three units generate magnetism. |
Seventh Pokémon generation | |
Pokémon Sun | Three units generate magnetism. There have been many mistaken reports of UFO sightings when Magnezone flies through the night sky. |
Pokémon Moon | As it zooms through the sky, this Pokémon seems to be receiving signals of unknown origin, while transmitting signals of unknown purpose. |
Pokémon Ultra Sun | It uses radar to monitor its territory. Intruders are quickly disposed of with a hyper beam. |
Pokémon Ultra Moon | There are still people who believe that this Pokémon came from outer space. It emanates a powerful magnetic field. |
Eighth Pokémon generation | |
Pokémon Sword | Some say that Magnezone receives signals from space via the antenna on its head and that it's being controlled by some mysterious being. |
Pokémon Shield | It's thought that a special magnetic field changed the molecular structure of this Pokémon's body, and that's what caused the Pokémon's evolution. |
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond | It evolved from exposure to a special magnetic field. Its three units generate magnetism. |
Pokémon Shining Pearl | It evolved from exposure to a special magnetic field. Its three units generate magnetism. |
Pokémon Legends: Arceus | I theorize that a special magnetic field influenced this Pokémon, changing its molecular structure and causing it to evolve. It emits strange radio waves toward space from its antenna. |
Ninth Pokémon generation | |
Pokémon Scarlet | As it zooms through the sky, this Pokémon seems to be receiving signals of unknown origin while transmitting signals of unknown purpose. |
Pokémon Violet | Exposure to a special magnetic field changed Magneton's molecular structure, turning it into Magnezone. |

Trivia[]
- The colors on the ends of Magnezone's magnets can turn on and off at will, as seen in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and the 3D Pokémon games.
- In Pokémon Battle Revolution and later games, if Magnezone falls asleep, its center "eye" remains open. However, the outer eyes close.
- In the September 2013 Pokémon Direct, Magnezone was mistakenly labeled as a female Pokémon, when it should be gender unknown. It was later corrected on the official website.
