Magnezone (Japanese: ジバコイル Jibacoil) is a dual-type Electric/Steel Pokémon.

It evolves from Magneton via level-up in Mt. Coronet. It is the final form of Magnemite.

Biology

Physiology

Magnezone is the result of Magneton leveling up in the presence of a special magnetic field that has only been discovered at Mt. Coronet. The center Magnemite of Magneton has grown bigger and more oval-shaped than the other two upon evolution. The middle Magnemite also has a red pupil in its eye instead of a black one and a yellow antenna on top of it. Magnezone as a whole is a darker color gray than its pre-evolutions, surrounded by a thin, metal rim and two dark-gray horse-shoe magnets that are positioned to look like metal claws. There is also a third horse-shoe magnet on the back of the middle Magnemite that is positioned like a tail. Unlike Magnemite and Magneton, Magnezone has been recognized as an Electric/Steel Pokémon ever since it was discovered. Even though Magnezone and its pre-evolutions are seemingly-mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat, and some way of reproducing. Magnezone could possibly be related to Metagross, who is also a half Steel-type Pokémon that floats by using electromagnetic waves.

Gender differences

Magnezone is genderless.

Special abilities

Magnezone use the same moves that Magnemite and Magneton can learn, except that its attacks are stronger than Magnemite and Magneton. However, Magnezone is slower than its previous evolution, most likely due to the added weight. Magnezone is also the only member of its evolutionary line that can learn Barrier and Mirror Coat.

Behavior

If frightened, Magnezone will discharge electricity uncontrollably.

Habitat

Magnezone can sometimes be found living in power plants, but they are significantly rarer than either Magnemite or Magneton. Sometimes, Magnezone take up permanent residence at Mt. Coronet, but they are still significantly hard to find.

Diet

Magnezone feed off of electrical charges.

Major appearances

Magnezone made its debut in the movie Giratina and the Sky Warrior under the ownership of the main antagonist, Zero. Despite Zero's maniacal behavior, Magnezone was very loyal to him. Magnezone generally acted as a leader to the Magnemite/Magneton army.

A wild Magnezone appeared in DP158, where it battled non-stop with a Metagross. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena" (a deep crater) became filled with water. Because their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

Minor appearances

In the manga

In Pokémon Adventures

Cyrus took his Magneton to Mt. Coronet to evolve it. He ordered it and his Nosepass to attack Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum; as they attacked, they evolved into Magnezone and Probopass, respectively.

Trivia

  • Magnezone and its evolutionary line have twelve resistances and one immunity, making them the most resistant Pokémon to date. With the addition of Magnet Rise, which makes them immune to Template:Type2 attacks for a short period of time, their only double weakness is negated.
  • Magnezone's Sugimori artwork and in-game menu sprite show that the poles of its magnets are red and blue, but in its Diamond and Pearl sprite and in its anime appearances, none of its magnets have color on the end.
    • In Pokémon Platinum this oversight was corrected. The blue in its sprite is deeper than in the art and on its pre-evolutions, however.
    • As seen in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, Magnezone may have the capability to "turn on and off" the colors.
  • Magnezone and its pre-evolution Magneton have National Pokédex numbers that differ by 380, more than any other two Pokémon related by evolution.
  • Magnezone has the highest Special Attack of any Template:Type2 Pokémon, and highest Special Attack of any non-legendary Template:Type2 Pokémon.
  • Magnezone loses the ability to learn Tri Attack upon evolution. This references the fact that the Magnemite were exposed to magnetic waves causing them to fuse, rather than all three of them working together.
  • Magnezone and its pre-evolved forms are the only Template:Type2 Pokémon to learn Zap Cannon naturally.
  • Magnezone's role in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness is often thought to be a reference to Robocop.

Origin

Magnezone is based on the concept of a living magnet that bears a resemblance to a flying saucer or a UFO.

Name origin

Magnezone is derived from a shortening and portmanteau of "magnetic zone", an alternative name for a magnetic field. Jibacoil's name is from 磁場 jiba, the Japanese word for magnetic field, and the coil part refers to an electro-magnetic coil.
