Magnemite (Japanese: コイル Coil) is an Electric/Steel-type Pokémon. Attracted by electricity, it is common in areas such as the Kanto Power Plant and Hoenn's New Mauville. Along with its evolved form Magneton, it is one of only two Pokémon to ever change type; from a pure Electric-type in the Generation I games to an Electric/Steel-type in Generation II and onward.

Magnemite can have one of two Abilities: Magnet Pull, which prevents Steel-type Pokémon from escaping; or Sturdy, which prevents One-Hit KO attacks from having any effect.

Magnemite evolves into Magneton starting at Level 30.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Red and Blue / Pokémon LeafGreen

Uses antigravity 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 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.

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.

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.

Magnemite seems to be a magnetic robot.

"Coil" was originally going to be Magnemite's English name.

Obtaining

In side games

In the anime

Magnemite first appeared in EP030. Ash and co. were in Gringy 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, agroup of Magnemite and Magneton helped to fight them off.

In EP101; 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.

Ash has battled two Gym Leaders with Magnemites: Jasmine in EP224 and Wattson in AG040.
