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

It evolves from Magneton by 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. One of the Magnemite that this Pokémon consists of 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 grey 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 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's. Magnezone is also the only member of its evolutionary line that can learn Barrier and Mirror Coat.

Behavior

Trivia

• Metagross is said to be related to Magnezone due to their similar appearance and stats.
• Magnezone and its evolutionary line has a spectacular thirteen resistances, two of those being doubly strong, and one immunity, making it the most resistant Pokémon ever. With the addition of Magnet Rise, which makes Magnezone immune to Ground-type attacks for a short period of time, its only double weakness is negated. It is also one of the few Pokémon to resist both parts of "Bolt Beam".
• Magnezone's Sugimori artwork and menu sprite shows that the poles of its magnets have red and blue color on them, but in Diamond and Pearl, its magnets have no color on them at all.
  • In Pokémon Platinum this oversight was corrected. The blue in its sprite is deeper than usual, however.
• The Sugimori art shows a third magnet in the back of Magnezone, which is missing on the sprite, or possibly just hidden.
  • In Platinum, the third magnet can be seen during the sprite animation.
• Magnezone and its pre-evolution Magneton have National Dex numbers that differ by 380, more than any other Pokémon related by evolution.
• Magnezone has the highest Special Attack of any Electric-type Pokémon, and highest Special Attack of any non-legendary Steel-type Pokémon.

Origin

Magnezone 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.
