Magnemite (Japanese: コイル Coil) is a dual-type Electric/Steel Pokémon. However, in Generation I, it was pure Electric-type.
It evolves into Magneton starting at level 30, who evolves into Magnezone via level-up in Mt. Coronet.
Biology
Physiology
Magnemite is a seemingly-robotic life form that has a gray, circular metal body with a single big eye, a horse shoe magnet on its left and right sides, two Phillips head screws that serve no noticeable purpose, and another Phillips head screw on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. Magnemite was originally thought to be a pure Template:Type2, but research eventually led to the discovery that traits of a Template:Type2 Pokémon were present, too. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat, and a way of reproducing. Magnemite also might be related to Beldum and Bronzor due to the fact that all of them are partially Steel-type that create electromagnetic waves to float in the air.
Gender differences
This Pokémon is genderless.
Special abilities
The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and that can potentially disrupt various electrical equipment. Magnemite usually attack by using electrical attacks such as Thunder Wave and Zap Cannon. Magnemite can also focus magnetic energy into a homing-attack known as Magnet Bomb.
Behavior
Magnemite generally keep to themselves. They are quiet and do not bother people. However, if anyone gets near them with magnets or something that emits large amounts of electricity, they can be attracted to such an object. Magnemite are very neutral, but they are very eager to please their trainers and will fight hard. If a wild Magnemite is approached, they will usually go away as they don't care for interaction, however, if attacked, they will retaliate with non-damaging moves such as Thunder Wave or Supersonic. If the attacker persists, they will start to use damaging attacks such as ThunderShock or Magnet Bomb, and in extreme cases, Zap Cannon.
Habitat
Magnemite can usually be found around power plants or any rough terrain where there may be large amounts of metal nearby.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Magnemite feed off of electrical currents, which is why they are frequently found around power plants.
In the anime
Major appearances
Magnemite first appeared in Sparks Fly for Magnemite. Ash and friends were in Gringey City while the power went out. When they were looking around for the cause of the power outage, a lone Magnemite showed up and was feeling attracted to Ash's Pikachu, who was having a cold. When a group of Grimer and its Muk leader were chasing Ash and co, a group of Magnemite and Magneton helped to fight them off.
In Get Along, Little Pokémon, Ash, Misty and Tracey met a man named Ethan who used Magnemite to harness electrical energy from bolts of lightning during thunderstorms and then the electrical energy would be given to towns that were without power. Magnemite #6 evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and Pikachu from Team Rocket.
An army of Magnemite and Magneton appeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior under the ownership of the main villain, Zero.
Minor appearances
Ash has battled two Gym Leaders with Magnemite: Jasmine in Nerves of Steelix and Wattson in Watt's with Wattson?.
Some Magnemite, their evolved form Magneton, and various other Template:Type2 Pokémon appeared in All Torkoal, No Play!.
Magnemite is one of the Electric-type Pokémon that was seen in the lake with crystal in As Clear As Crystal.
In Pika and Goliath!, Sho offers to trade his Magnemite for Ash's Pikachu (naturally, Ash refuses the offer).
Brock temporarily trained a Magnemite belonging to the Pokémon Summer Academy in Camping It Up!. Unlike the rest of the group, Brock had no problems bonding with, and educating his Pokémon.
A group of Magnemite also appeared in Steeling Peace of Mind! and Saving the World From Ruins!.

In the Pokémon Special manga
Magnemite makes a multiple cameo aboard the S.S. Anne in Danger: High Voltorb as many of the Pokémon ready to attack Red, however it's not clear if they belong to Lt. Surge or to his sailor. It debuts in the next round, Buzz Off, Electabuzz! searching in the ship for Red.
Later, in Template:PSV, Lt. Surge uses a Magnemite to fight Morty's Misdreavus, using electromagnetism to shield attacks as well as fire Zap Cannon. The fight, however, ended in a draw due to Misdreavus using Destiny Bond.

Trivia
- "Coil" was originally going to be Magnemite's English name.
- Magnemite, along with its evolution Magneton, are the only Pokémon to gain another type with the debut of Generation II, gaining a dual Electric/Steel typing.
- Magnemite was unable to learn any Steel-type moves until Generation III.
- Despite most of Magnemite's Pokédex entries saying they are able to float through the air with anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the ability of Levitate, and so they are still affected by Earthquake or other Ground-type moves, although they are able to float in the air in the anime. However, as of Generation IV, Magnemite can learn Magnet Rise which simulates Levitate for a short period of time.
- Magnemite is the first Steel-type Pokémon in National Pokédex order.
- Since they were included in the Sinnoh Dex in Platinum, Magnemite and Magneton have appeared in every regional Pokédex.
- Magnemite and its evolution Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their cry changed slightly in Generation III. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and newer game system.
- Magnemite's Generation II shiny sprite shows the ends of the magnets being colored, unlike sprites of future generations.
- Magnemite, along with the rest of its family, has the most resistances of any Pokémon.
Origin
Magnemite seems to be based on the concept of a living magnet.
Name origin
Magnemite's name appears to be a combination of magnet and mite, in the sense of small creature. Alternatively, it could be a play on magnetite. Its Japanese name is simply coil, perhaps referring to the fact that a coil with electric current generates a magnetic field.
In other languages
- German: Magnetilo
- French: Magneti - This is from magnétique (magnetic), and possibly petit (small).
- Korean: 코일 Koil
- Chinese (Hong Kong): 小磁怪 - Literally "little magnetic monster".
