'''Magneton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レアコイル''' ''Rarecoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in either [[Mt. Coronet]], [[Chargestone Cave]], [[Kalos Route 13]], or on [[New Mauville]].
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]] or when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].


==Biology==
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)
Magneton is the result of three Magnemite being linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when no other Magnemite are in the vicinity. The three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked several ways. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked via body on the bottom, forming a triangle. However, in some cases, commonly seen in 3D Pokémon games, the Magnemite will not be connected at all, remaining in a triangular formation at rest, and being able to freely move within each other's vicinity to form other patterns. The magnetic forces that holds the three Magnemite together is powerful enough to dry up all moisture and raise the temperature 3.6 °F (2 °C) within a 3,300 foot (1,000 m) radius. It can also be disruptive to electronic devices.


Even though Magneton is a mechanical creature, it still has the need to eat. [[EP195|As seen in the anime]], food for Magneton consists of electrical currents. It is usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}, often near power plants. When sunspots flare up, Magneton tends to appear more often, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field. It has been shown [[PS011|in the manga]] that it possesses the ability to form its electricity into both platforms and barriers. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, carvings depicting Magneton have been [[a:File:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|discovered]] at the [[Ruins of Alph]], indicating it has existed for at least 1,500 years.
It is said to be a relative of the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Sandy Shocks}}<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"Through analysis of its genetic makeup, as well as its behavioral patterns...I came to realize that what I had discovered was in fact an ancient{{sup/9|S}}/futuristic{{sup/9|V}} form of {{p|Cyclizar}}, the Pokémon commonly ridden in this region."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}})</ref> or a version of it<ref>[[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"I am researching methods to catch Pokémon that live in different timelines, so I might transport them to the present day in my own timeline."'' ({{g|Scarlet and Violet}}: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> from a different timeline.

[[File:Vincent Magneton.png|thumb|left|200px|Shiny Magneton in the anime]]
Magneton is a robot-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the result of three {{p|Magnemite}} becoming linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when there are no other Magnemite in the vicinity. Each individual Magnemite has a gray spherical body with a single eye, and a gray and red-and-blue tipped horseshoe magnet on each side. The topmost Magnemite has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body, while the others appear to have only two. The three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked in several ways. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked by the screws on the bottom, forming a triangle. In some cases, commonly seen in 3D games such as {{g|Snap}}, the Magnemite will not be connected at all, remain in a triangular formation at rest, and are able to freely move within each other's vicinity to form other patterns. In this case, all three Magnemite have three screws. The magnetic forces that hold the three Magnemite together are powerful enough to dry up all moisture and raise the temperature by 3.6°F (2°C) within a radius of 3,300 feet (1,000 meters). It can also be disruptive to electronic devices and induce earaches. It uses powerful radio waves to help it study the surrounding area.
===Major appearances===
====[[Clemont's Magneton]]====
{{an|Clemont}} owns a Magneton which he keeps at the [[Lumiose Gym]] so [[Clembot]] can use it for Gym Battles while he is away. It first appeared in ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'' where it was shown to be able to separate itself into 3 Magnemite in order to dodge attacks.


====Others====
Magneton's anti-gravitational powers enable it to fly through the air. Being composed of three Magnemite, it is about three times as powerful electrically, though not three times as intelligent. Even though Magneton is a mechanical creature, it still has the need to eat. As seen in [[EP195|the anime]], food for Magneton consists of electrical currents. It is usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}, often near power plants. When sunspots flare up, Magneton tends to appear more often, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field. When rain clouds form, it also gathers in high areas prone to lightning strikes. As seen in [[PS011|Pokémon Adventures]], it possesses the ability to form its electricity into both platforms and barriers. As seen in ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', it can cause interference with phone and internet signels. In ''[[HZ013|An Unexpected Picnic!]]'' a herd of Magneton can produce an EMP that can destroy computor software. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, carvings depicting Magneton have been [[Media:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|discovered]] at the [[Ruins of Alph]], and one was [[PG18|shown]] in a flashback to the great war of [[Kalos]], indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years. Additionally, {{p|Sandy Shocks}} bears a strong resemblance to Magneton. It is believed to be an ancient Magneton that was alive 10,000 years ago. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Magneton is known to sleep with its three linked Magnemite either stuck together or drifting apart by a strong magnetic force.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>It is theoried that its magnetism is unstable while Magneton sleeps.
Magneton first appeared in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. They, along with {{p|Magnemite}}, saved {{Ash}} and company from a {{p|Grimer}} attack.


A Magnemite that belonged to {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}} in ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'' evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{TRT}}.
===Evolution===
Magneton evolves from {{p|Magnemite}} and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}}.


Several Magneton attacked a Pokémon Center in ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', but the Poké Spokesman was able to calm them down and stop the attack.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

===Evolution===
===Evolution data===
Magneton [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30 and, since [[Generation IV]], evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]]. Magneton cannot evolve into Magnezone in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, due to there being no area in [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] with a special magnetic field. Magneton also cannot evolve in {{LGPE}}, as Magnezone is not present in those games. There is also no special magnetic field in {{g|Sword and Shield}} or {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, so from [[Generation VIII]] onwards, Magneton is also able to evolve into Magnezone when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magneton is originally known as "Recoil."
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magneton was originally known as "Recoil".
* Magneton, along with its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}}, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing, and the only ones to do so until Generation V when {{p|Rotom}}'s formes were given additional typing.
* Magneton and its pre-evolved form were the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to ever change [[type]]s with the progress of [[generation]]s.
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is contradictory evidence seen in various forms of media.

** In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}}'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of combining with two real Magnemite. Similarly, in the main series games, when Magnemite reaches level 30, it evolves without the aid of two additional Magnemite. This is unlike {{p|Mantyke}} which requires a {{p|Remoraid}} to evolve.

** In {{g|Snap}}, a Magneton is clearly shown to be created by three Magnemite. Also, when two Magnemite get stuck together halfway through evolution in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|original Mystery Dungeon games]], they mention how three Magnemite must come together to evolve.

** After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than Magnemite. Logically, it would be three times heavier if it were actually made of three Magnemite. Magnemite weighs 13.2&nbsp;lbs. (6.0&nbsp;kg) whereas Magneton weighs 132.3&nbsp;lbs. (60.0&nbsp;kg).
** After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than Magnemite. Logically, it would be three times heavier due to it being three Magnemite (39.6&nbsp;lbs). Magnemite weighs 13.2&nbsp;lbs. (6.0&nbsp;kg), whereas Magneton weighs 132.3&nbsp;lbs. (60.0&nbsp;kg).
* Magneton, along with {{p|Magnemite}}, has [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appeared in every regional Pokédex]]. This is due to the Sinnoh Pokédex's expansion in Platinum and the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
* Magneton is usually depicted with only 7 screws, with two of the Magnemite losing one screw each upon evolution. However, it is occasionally depicted with 9 screws such as in its [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] sprites.
* Magneton and its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}} are two of 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 [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* The 3 Magnemite composing Magneton are usually depicted as attached to each other and only occasionally separating. However, in certain games such as {{g|Stadium}} and {{g|Colosseum}}, the Magnemite are depicted as floating separately from each other and only occasionally combining to attack.  
* Magneton has been used by more rival characters than any other Pokémon, being used by three: {{ga|Blue}}, {{ga|Silver}}, and [[Wally]].
* Magneton and Magnemite are two of 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 [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Despite most depictions of Magneton showing they are able to float through the air, Magneton does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magneton can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.

* Magneton is the only {{type|Electric}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies}}.
* Magneton is the only Pokémon to share its weight with any of its {{pkmn2|Paradox}} relative species, weighing the same as {{p|Sandy Shocks}}.
** It is also the only Pokémon with an ancient relative that is not heavier than its present-day relative.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Magneton is a cluster of three {{p|Magnemite}} which in turn seems to be based on the objectification of {{wp|electromagnetism}}, one of the four {{wp|fundamental interactions}} of nature. They are likely linked through strong electromagnetic force.

Magneton (Japanese: レアコイル Rarecoil) is a dual-type Electric/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation II, it was a pure Electric-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Magnemite starting at level 30 and evolves into Magnezone when leveled up in a special magnetic field or when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

It is said to be a relative of the Paradox Pokémon Sandy Shocks[1] or a version of it[2] from a different timeline.

Biology

Magneton splitting into three Magnemite

Magneton is a robot-like Pokémon, the result of three Magnemite becoming linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when there are no other Magnemite in the vicinity. Each individual Magnemite has a gray spherical body with a single eye, and a gray and red-and-blue tipped horseshoe magnet on each side. The topmost Magnemite has three Phillips head screws on its body, while the others appear to have only two. The three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked in several ways. Magneton is most commonly seen as one Magnemite on top, and two Magnemite linked by the screws on the bottom, forming a triangle. In some cases, commonly seen in 3D games such as Pokémon Snap, the Magnemite will not be connected at all, remain in a triangular formation at rest, and are able to freely move within each other's vicinity to form other patterns. In this case, all three Magnemite have three screws. The magnetic forces that hold the three Magnemite together are powerful enough to dry up all moisture and raise the temperature by 3.6°F (2°C) within a radius of 3,300 feet (1,000 meters). It can also be disruptive to electronic devices and induce earaches. It uses powerful radio waves to help it study the surrounding area.

Magneton's anti-gravitational powers enable it to fly through the air. Being composed of three Magnemite, it is about three times as powerful electrically, though not three times as intelligent. Even though Magneton is a mechanical creature, it still has the need to eat. As seen in the anime, food for Magneton consists of electrical currents. It is usually found in rough terrain, often near power plants. When sunspots flare up, Magneton tends to appear more often, presumably due to the changes in the sun's magnetic field. When rain clouds form, it also gathers in high areas prone to lightning strikes. As seen in Pokémon Adventures, it possesses the ability to form its electricity into both platforms and barriers. As seen in The Future I Choose, it can cause interference with phone and internet signels. In An Unexpected Picnic! a herd of Magneton can produce an EMP that can destroy computor software. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, carvings depicting Magneton have been discovered at the Ruins of Alph, and one was shown in a flashback to the great war of Kalos, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years. Additionally, Sandy Shocks bears a strong resemblance to Magneton. It is believed to be an ancient Magneton that was alive 10,000 years ago. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Magneton is known to sleep with its three linked Magnemite either stuck together or drifting apart by a strong magnetic force.[3]It is theoried that its magnetism is unstable while Magneton sleeps.

Evolution

Magneton evolves from Magnemite and evolves into Magnezone.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Evolution data

Magneton evolves from Magnemite starting at level 30 and, since Generation IV, evolves into Magnezone when leveled up in a special magnetic field. Magneton cannot evolve into Magnezone in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, due to there being no area in Kanto or Johto with a special magnetic field. Magneton also cannot evolve in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as Magnezone is not present in those games. There is also no special magnetic field in Pokémon Sword and Shield or Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, so from Generation VIII onwards, Magneton is also able to evolve into Magnezone when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

Trivia

  • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Magneton was originally known as "Recoil".
  • Magneton and its pre-evolved form were the first Pokémon to ever change types with the progress of generations.
  • Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is contradictory evidence seen in various forms of media.
    • In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, Get Along, Little Pokémon, when Ethan's Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of combining with two real Magnemite. Similarly, in the main series games, when Magnemite reaches level 30, it evolves without the aid of two additional Magnemite. This is unlike Mantyke, which requires a Remoraid to evolve.
    • In Pokémon Snap, a Magneton is clearly shown to be created by three Magnemite. Also, when two Magnemite get stuck together halfway through evolution in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, they mention how three Magnemite must come together to evolve.
    • After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than Magnemite. Logically, it would be three times heavier due to it being three Magnemite (39.6 lbs). Magnemite weighs 13.2 lbs. (6.0 kg), whereas Magneton weighs 132.3 lbs. (60.0 kg).
  • Magneton is usually depicted with only 7 screws, with two of the Magnemite losing one screw each upon evolution. However, it is occasionally depicted with 9 screws such as in its Generation II and Generation III sprites.
  • The 3 Magnemite composing Magneton are usually depicted as attached to each other and only occasionally separating. However, in certain games such as Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Colosseum, the Magnemite are depicted as floating separately from each other and only occasionally combining to attack.
  • Magneton and Magnemite are two of 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.
  • Despite most depictions of Magneton showing they are able to float through the air, Magneton does not have the Ability Levitate, so it is still affected by Ground-type moves. However, starting in Generation IV, Magneton can learn Magnet Rise, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
  • Magneton is the only Electric-type Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies.
  • Magneton is the only Pokémon to share its weight with any of its Paradox relative species, weighing the same as Sandy Shocks.
    • It is also the only Pokémon with an ancient relative that is not heavier than its present-day relative.

Origin

Magneton is a cluster of three Magnemite, which in turn seems to be based on the objectification of electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental interactions of nature. They are likely linked through strong electromagnetic force.

Name origin

Magneton may be derived from magneton (various units of magnetic moment) or possibly magnetron (high-power vacuum tube).

Rarecoil may be a combination of rare-earth magnet and electromagnetic coil.
