Magnet Pull (Japanese: じりょく Magnetism) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.
Effect
In battle
Generation III to V
Magnet Pull prevents Steel-type foes from fleeing (including Teleport) or switching out as long as the user remains in battle.
Using Baton Pass, U-turn, Volt Switch, or Parting Shot will still cause the Pokémon to switch out. Holding a Shed Shell allows the Pokémon to switch out, but not flee or use Teleport. Having the Ability Run Away or holding a Smoke Ball allows the Pokémon to flee or use Teleport, but not switch.
If a wild Pokémon has Magnet Pull and the player's Steel-type Pokémon faints, if the player attempts to flee instead of sending out another Pokémon, they are unaffected by Magnet Pull.
Magnet Pull does not affect allies.
Generation VI onward
Magnet Pull may no longer affect Ghost-type foes (even if they are part Steel-type).
Outside of battle
From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with Magnet Pull is in the first place in the party (even if fainted), then there is a 50% chance the game will force an encounter with a Steel-type Pokémon, if one is possible.
Pokémon with Magnet Pull
In other games
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, a Pokémon with Magnet Pull immobilizes Steel-type Pokémon that attack it directly, preventing them from moving for a few turns.
