Magneton (Japanese: レアコイル Rarecoil) is an Electric/Steel-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Magneton is the result of three Magnemites being linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when no other Magnemites are in vicinity. There are several ways that the three Magnemites that Magneton consists of can be linked together in. Magneton was originally thought to be a pure Electric-type Pokémon, but it was eventually discovered to have traits of a Steel-type Pokémon as well. Even though Magneton, its pre-evolution and its evolution are all mechanical creatures, they share traits with non-mechanical creatures: Magneton are able to feel emotions, get hungry, and reproduce. Magneton has been considered to be related to Metang and Bronzong since both are also half Steel-type Pokémon that floats by using electromagnetic waves.
Gender differences
This Pokémon is genderless.
Special abilities
Magneton emits strange radio waves that can greatly damage various electronic equipment, raise air temperatures by 3.6 degrees Farenheit within a 3,300-foot radius and cause earaches to anyone that gets to close to it. Magneton mostly learns attacks that Magnemite is capable of learning. However, unlike Magnemite, Magneton can learn Tri Attack. Even though Magneton is not yet fully evolved, it can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact. On very rare occasions, Magneton can know Refresh.
Behavior
Habitat
Magneton usually live in power plants, but they're harder to find than Magnemite. On rare occasions, groups of Magneton migrate to Mt. Coronet so they can evolve.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food

Evolution
Trivia
The original English name for Magneton was going to be "Recoil".
Origin
Magneton appears to be a magnetic robot.
Name origin
Magneton's name may be a combination of magnet and ton — indicating that it is larger than Magnemite. A magneton is also a unit of magnetic movement, and a magnetron forms the core of a microwave oven. The rare in Rarecoil may be a reference to the fact that some rare earth elements have interesting magnetic properties, or it may simply be alluding to the fact that it is rarer than Magnemite.
