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 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.

Major appearances

Clemont's Magneton

Clemont owns a Magneton, which he keeps at the Lumiose Gym so Clembot can use it for Gym Battles while Clemont is away. It first appeared in Clemont's Got a Secret!, where it was revealed to be able to separate itself into three Magnemite in order to dodge attacks.

Other

In Sparks Fly for Magnemite, multiple Magneton, along with a Magnemite, saved Ash and his friends from a Grimer attack.

In Get Along, Little Pokémon, Ethan's Magnemite evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and his Pikachu from Team Rocket. This Magneton is nicknamed Number 6.

In The Poké Spokesman, a group of phony Pokémon interpreters deprived their two Magneton of electricity so they would remain obedient. They were convinced by Simon to cease their attacks on a Pokémon Center.

In Current Events, a Magneton served as a security guard for an electric company's power station. Ash was attacked by the Magnemite assisting Magneton, but when he retaliated with Chikorita, Magneton attacked as well.

In Tie One On!, Jackson used a Shiny Magneton against Ash during the Silver Conference. It proved to be very strong, knocking out Pikachu and Cyndaquil before being defeated by Bulbasaur.

In Watt's with Wattson?, Wattson used a Magneton during his brief Gym battle with Ash. It was easily defeated by Pikachu, who had become super-charged during an incident at the Mauville Gym. Three wild Magneton also appeared later in the same episode.

In All Torkoal, No Play!, multiple Magneton were among the Steel-type Pokémon in the Valley of Steel bullying a wild Torkoal.

In Giratina and the Sky Warrior, an army of Magneton and Magnemite, led by a Magnezone, was owned by Zero. He mainly used them as a swarm to trap or capture targets by linking together around them.

In Confronting the Darkness!, Belmondo has a Magneton. It was first used by the Dark Clembot to destroy electric appliances in a storehouse using Discharge. It then battled Clemont's Heliolisk, which was being used by Clembot. After a hard-fought battle, it was recalled by Belmondo after the battle had been interrupted by Team Rocket.

A Magneton appeared in The Future I Choose, under the ownership of Spinel. Spinel's Magneton has since made further appearances in Pokémon Horizons: The Series.

Minor appearances

In Mewtwo Strikes Back, a Trainer's Magneton was defeated by Mewtwo while it was serving Giovanni at the Viridian Gym.

In The Power of One, a Magneton sensed the disturbance caused by Lawrence III.

In The Legend of Thunder!, multiple Magneton were lured by the "Miracle Crystal" used by Attila and Hun.

A Magneton appeared in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

In Harley Rides Again, a Coordinator's Magneton competed in the Wisteria Town Pokémon Contest.

In Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!, a Coordinator's Magneton competed in the Floaroma Contest. In the next episode, it was still competing in the same Contest.

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.

-'''Magneton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レアコイル''' ''Rarecoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon. However, in [[Generation I]], it was pure Electric-type.
-It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30, and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} via level-up in [[Mt. Coronet]].
+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&rarr;Evolution data]] for these details.)
-===Physiology===
-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. There are several ways that the three Magnemite, that Magneton consists of, can be linked. 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, the Magnemite will not be connected at all, but still remain in a triangular pattern. In the anime, the size of Magneton's magnets change in different episodes. This doesn't seem to be based on anything except possibly an oversight by the animators. Magneton was originally thought to be a pure {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, but it was eventually discovered to have traits of a {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon as well. Even though Magneton, its pre-evolution and its evolution are all mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, can get hungry, and have a way of reproducing. Magneton has been considered to be related to {{p|Metang}} and {{p|Bronzong}} since both are also half Steel-type Pokémon that float by using electromagnetic waves.

({{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.
-This Pokémon is genderless.
-====Special abilities====
+==Biology==
-Magneton can emit strange radio waves that can greatly damage various electronic equipment, raise air temperatures by 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit within a 3,300-foot radius and cause earaches to anyone that gets too close to it. Magneton mostly learns attacks that Magnemite is capable of learning. However, unlike Magnemite, Magneton can learn {{m|Tri Attack}}. Even though Magneton is not yet fully evolved, it can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. On very rare occasions, Magneton can know {{m|Refresh}}.
+[[File:Clemont Magneton three Magnemite.png|thumb|250px|left|Magneton splitting into three Magnemite]]
+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.
-===Behavior===
+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 behave similarly to their pre-evolution, Magnemite, in that they generally do not bother people and keep to themselves unless provoked. If they are provoked however, they will resort to non-damaging moves, but, will not hesitate to use more powerful moves if not left alone. Unlike most other evolved Pokémon, in battle, Magneton are very easy to command and rarely lose focus.
-===Habitat===
+===Evolution===
-[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
+Magneton evolves from {{p|Magnemite}} and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}}.
-Magneton usually live around power plants and rough terrain where large deposits of metal can be found, but they're harder to find than Magnemite.

-Magneton makes a cameo aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as one of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pokémon ready to attack {{Special|Red}}. However, it debuts in the next round, ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', when some of them torture Red with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Lt. Surge has a quad of Magneton, capable of using electromagnetism to create a tetrahedral aura. This aura is able to ferry people as well as attack and trap anything within, as seen in Volumes [[Pokémon Special volume 3|3]], [[Pokémon Special volume 10|10]] and [[Pokémon Special volume 12|12]].

+===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==
-* The original English name for Magneton was planned to be "Recoil."
+* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magneton was originally known as "Recoil".
-* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is no evidence of this in the anime. In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when [[Ethan]]'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of getting together with two real Magnemite. This is similar to the games.
+* Magneton and its pre-evolved form were the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to ever change [[type]]s with the progress of [[generation]]s.
-** However, in [[Pokémon Snap]], a Magneton ''is'' created by three Magnemite.
+* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is contradictory evidence seen in various forms of media.
-* Magneton is supposedly composed of three Magnemite; however, after evolution, it becomes 10 times heavier. Magnemite weighs 13.2 lbs, while Magneton weighs 132.0 lbs.
+** 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.
-* Despite Magnemite and Magneton's various Pokédex entries saying they can cause damage to any electronic devices in their vicinity, in all of their appearances in the anime, they have not disrupted any electronic devices. In fact, the opposite happens in the episodes in which this evolution family has been the focus, and they actually ''save'' towns.
+** 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 {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, they mention how three Magnemite must come together to evolve.
-* Magneton's {{2v2|Red|Blue}} sprite is the only instance where one of the Magnemite's faces on Magneton is not facing the same direction as the other two.
+** 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 and its evolution Magnezone have National Dex numbers that differ by 380, more than any other Pokémon related by evolution.
+* 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 evolutionary family possess 13 resistances, more than any other Pokémon.
+* 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 can be found [[underleveled]] at level 26 in [[New Mauville]]; this also allows for {{p|Magnezone}} as low as level 27.
+* 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]].
-* Magneton and its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}}, are one 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's [[Generation II]] shiny sprite shows the ends of the magnets being colored, unlike later generations' sprites.
+* Magneton is the only {{type|Electric}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies}}.
-* Magneton is one of the three Pokémon to evolve via leveling up in certain locations, the others being {{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Nosepass}}.
+* Magneton is the only Pokémon to share its weight with any of its {{pkmn2|Paradox}} relative species, weighing the same as {{p|Sandy Shocks}}.
-** Of these, Magneton and Nosepass evolve when leveled up in [[Mt. Coronet]].
+** It is also the only Pokémon with an ancient relative that is not heavier than its present-day relative.
-** Magneton is also the only one of them who has already evolved.
-*Magneton and its evolutionary cahin are the only Electric type Pokémon to learn Zap Cannon naturally.
 ===Origin===
-Magneton appears to be based on the concept of a living magnet.
+Magneton is a cluster of three 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.
 ====Name origin====
-Magneton's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|magnet}}'' and ''ton'' &mdash; indicating that it is larger than Magnemite. A magneton is also a unit of magnetic movement, and a {{wp|magnetron}} forms the core of a {{wp|microwave oven}}. The ''rare'' in ''Rarecoil'' may be a reference to the fact that some {{wp|rare earth elements}} have interesting magnetic properties, or it may simply be alluding to the fact that it is rarer than Magnemite.
+Magneton may be derived from ''{{wp|magneton}}'' (various units of magnetic moment) or possibly ''{{wp|Cavity magnetron|magnetron}}'' (high-power vacuum tube).
+Rarecoil may be a combination of ''{{wp|rare-earth magnet}}'' and ''{{wp|electromagnetic coil}}''.
