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

It evolves from Magneton when leveled up in either Mt. Coronet or Chargestone Cave. 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 and Chargestone Cave. 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, they need to eat, and they have 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 a genderless species.

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 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 Regaining the Home Advantage!, 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

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
DP158 Magnezone Ash's Pokédex Magnezone, the Magnet Area Pokémon. It evolves from Magneton in certain magnetic areas, and emits energy from each of its three magnets.

In the manga

In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga

Magnezone was used by a Galactic Grunt that attacked Hiori and Rocco when they attempted to fly to the Team Galactic section base. In the air it fought Hiori's Drifblim, but despite the type advantage Magnezone and the Galactic Grunt were defeated by Hiori's quick thinking.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

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. He later used it to dispatch Diamond at the Celestic Ruins with its Magnet Bomb, and when the boy put up a resistance, its Charge Beam hit Tru straight on to recover the camera Cyrus used to photograph the ruin paintings. Diamond even tried to hide it in Lax's fur, but it proved to be a difficult opponent to deal with when its Magnet Pull Ability almost pulled it right back with such force that even an Iron Ball rose from the ground. Pearl, deciding to help his friend, eventually broke it using Chatler.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Mars has a Magnezone which she used to battle Hareta while he was trying to get to the Spear Pillar.

In the TCG

Other appearances

Magnezone appears on the Electric terrain of Pokémon Stadium 2.

Trophy Information

"A Magnet Area Pokémon. It's a Magneton that evolved in a special magnetic field at Mt. Coronet. Its appearance is quite different after it evolves, but it still has three round eyes. Its shape changes but not its type--it's still both an Electric and Steel type. It learns Magnet Rise, a technique that temporarily nullifies Ground-type attacks, a traditional weakness."

Trivia

Origin

Magnezone appears to be based on the concept of a fused Magneton; one of the Magnemite taking a larger form and the remaining two Magnemite taking the forms of the smaller bodies on each side. The Magnemite evolution line seem to be based on the objectification of electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental interactions of nature. Magnezone in particular is possibly based on Electromagnetic forming caused by electromagnetic fields and combined with an objectification in the form of a flying saucer or a UFO.

Name origin

Magnezone is a shortening and combination of magnetic zone, an alternative name for a magnetic field.

Jibacoil is a combination of 磁場 jiba (magnetic field) and coil (referring to an electro-magnetic coil).
