A '''Magnagate''' (Japanese: '''マグナゲート''' ''Magnagate'') is a portal in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] that leads to a [[Mystery Dungeon]] or to a [[Glacier Palace Eastern Spire|different area]].
A '''Magnagate''' (Japanese: '''マグナゲート''' ''Magnagate'') is a portal to a [[Mystery Dungeon]] that can be found by scanning round objects in the real world. Magnagates are only found in the game [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]]. The option to "Discover a Magnagate" becomes available in the main menu once the story progresses up to the part where the partner Pokémon buys the land from Quagsire to start [[Pokémon Paradise]]. Dungeons found in Magnagates vary by color of the object scanned, and vary in difficulty based on size of the object. Dungeons found by Magnagates are played like normal dungeons, but the player does not necessarily play as their original character and partner. Rather, they will play as either {{p|Axew}}, {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Dewott}}, {{p|Emboar}}, or {{p|Pikachu}}. Depending on the dungeon, you will also have one or two of the above Pokémon as partners. In Magnagate dungeons, however, you can change the leader between your Pokémon at any time. At the end of a Magnagate dungeon the player is required to fight the dungeon's leaders, who are generally more powerful than the others in the dungeon. Money and items received in these dungeons will be sent back to the player's save file.


If the player stays around on a floor for too long, a message will display, saying that a wind is blowing. After a while, the wind will blow harder, and finally, a third time, it blows the player and any partners out of the dungeon, resulting in a failed trip. Anything obtained will still be sent to the deposit box.

An [[Umbreon and Espeon (Gates to Infinity)|Umbreon]] arrives in [[Post Town]] and collapses and all the Post Town residents gather to see the fainted Pokémon. After Umbreon is rescued by the [[Timburr Brothers]], {{p|Virizion}} knows him and tells everyone about Umbreon. After Umbreon recovers slightly the next day, Umbreon explains to the {{player}} and their partner about Magnagates and how they are created. Everyone then goes outside and heads to the top of the hill in Post Town and Umbreon then places two [[Entercard]]s into a box, which then a partial Magnagate opens up. Umbreon explains that it is an incomplete Magnagate and that his partner Espeon holds the other two Entercards. The partial Magnagate closes and then the player and their partner head off to the [[Crags of Lament]] to rescue Espeon.


==Magnagate Dungeons==
In the Crags of Lament, {{p|Purugly}} and {{p|Toxicroak}} both corner Espeon. Espeon still refuses to give the Entercards, and then both Purugly and Toxicroak check Espeon to suddenly discover that Espeon doesn't have the Entercards. While both Purugly and Toxicroak assume that Espeon has hidden them somewhere, they try to force Espeon to tell them. But then, the player and their partner appear and then step in to protect Espeon. After Purugly and Toxicroak are defeated, they run off. Then, the player, partner, and Espeon all head back to Post Town, where Espeon and Umbreon are reunited again. Then, {{p|Swadloon}} and {{p|Leavanny}} appear; Swadloon gives back the Entercards to Espeon and explains to everyone that Espeon entrusted the Entercards to him, so that they wouldn't fall into Purugly and Toxicroak's hands. A flashback is shown and Espeon says that Swadloon found the Entercards she buried before she gave them to him. Umbreon and Espeon tell them that they need to get things ready before opening a path to the [[Great Glacier]].

The dungeons are randomly generated and named, and vary in difficulty level from three stars up until 13 stars. The bosses also vary on the type of dungeon entered.


Unlike the regular dungeons, Magnagate Dungeons do not have a set list of Pokémon that appear in the dungeon. Furthermore, the number of different types of enemy Pokémon that appear in the dungeon can be anywhere between 5-20, any type of Pokémon (except for legendary or mythical Pokémon) will be selected. The levels of the Pokémon will vary, depending on the difficulty of the Magnagate Dungeon. All enemy Pokémon cannot be befriended in Magnagate Dungeons

A few days later, everyone wanted to go to the Great Glacier, but then Quagsire explains that HAPPI doesn't allow more than six Pokémon to travel during expeditions. Then, during the next day, everyone gathers at the hill of Post Town and then Umbreon and Espeon both put in all four Entercards, which summons a full Magnagate to the Great Glacier. The player, their partner, Virizion, Umbreon, Espeon, and Emolga enter, but at the last minute, Emolga pushes Dunsparce into the Magnagate before it disappears. Emolga stays behind at Post Town. Meanwhile, the team arrives in [[Telluric Path]], a dungeon path created by a Magnagate.


There is no set names of Magnagate Dungeons, the name of the dungeon is determined by two name groups that are used, both chosen at random. While the first part of a Magnagate Dungeon's name (such as "Alluring") won't effect on what the dungeon appears or has, the layout and map models used for Magnagate Dungeons will always depend on the second part of the dungeon's name (eg. "Alluring Crevasse" uses the same layout models as [[Glacier Palace]], since it has the word "Crevasse" in it). Meaning there will always be a dungeon with a different name every time a Magnagate Dungeon is discovered using the Augmented Reality function on the Nintendo 3DS.
Then, at the crevasse of the Great Glacier, another Magnagate is summoned, which creates beams of light to appear, in which leads to another dungeon path created by a Magnagate, called [[Glacial Underpass]].


[[Monster House]]s make a frequent appearance, mostly on the first floor of the dungeon. Quicksave also cannot be used.
A few days after the expedition though the [[Glacier Palace]], Umbreon and Espeon summon another Magnagate for the player and partner to travel to Mt. Kilionea, where {{OBP|Munna|Gates to Infinity}} is located. The player and their partner arrive in [[Kilionea Road]], a dungeon path also created by a Magnagate.


In order to enter Magnagate Dungeons with a higher difficulty, the player must complete a certain number of Magnagate Dungeons. To enter Magnagate Dungeons above four stars, there is a required amount of Magnagate Dungeons that have to be completed. It is unknown how many need to be completed at this time.
Before the journey back to the Glacier Palace, Emolga summons a Magnagate successfully, which the player and their partner enter, and leads to a dungeon path called [[Tyrian Maze]], which is created by a Magnagate. Virizion thinks that the activities caused by the Glacier Palace lifting into the sky has caused changes to the appearance of the dungeon, resulting in Tyrian Maze instead of Telluric Path.


The playable Pokémon are {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Axew}}, and their evolved forms. The evolved forms of {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Snivy}} are also playable. What the player controls and will receive as partners are randomly chosen from all five Pokémon, regardless of who the player's character is and who the partner is in the story mode.
After defeating {{p|Salamence}}, Umbreon and Espeon call out to the player and their partner. They explain that they have found a different set of Entercards, which they begin to think that {{p|Keldeo}} made them and was an Entercard user. Upon explaining that the new set of Entercards are used for traveling into the sky, Umbreon and Espeon use the new Entercards to create a Magnagate one last time and they all arrive at the entrance to [[Glacier Palace - Eastern Spire]].

===In the demo===
In the demo released for the Nintendo eShop, Magnagates also make an appearance. When scanned, the demo doesn't take size or color into account and instead sends the player to a random Magnagate dungeon.
In the demo, there are 54 possible Magnagate dungeons. These dungeons are not found in the full version of the game. The playable Pokémon are the unevolved starters.
A Magnagate dungeon's name is a combination of two words:

A partially summoned Magnagate in the main story

An Umbreon arrives in Post Town and collapses and all the Post Town residents gather to see the fainted Pokémon. After Umbreon is rescued by the Timburr Brothers, Virizion knows him and tells everyone about Umbreon. After Umbreon recovers slightly the next day, Umbreon explains to the player and their partner about Magnagates and how they are created. Everyone then goes outside and heads to the top of the hill in Post Town and Umbreon then places two Entercards into a box, which then a partial Magnagate opens up. Umbreon explains that it is an incomplete Magnagate and that his partner Espeon holds the other two Entercards. The partial Magnagate closes and then the player and their partner head off to the Crags of Lament to rescue Espeon.

In the Crags of Lament, Purugly and Toxicroak both corner Espeon. Espeon still refuses to give the Entercards, and then both Purugly and Toxicroak check Espeon to suddenly discover that Espeon doesn't have the Entercards. While both Purugly and Toxicroak assume that Espeon has hidden them somewhere, they try to force Espeon to tell them. But then, the player and their partner appear and then step in to protect Espeon. After Purugly and Toxicroak are defeated, they run off. Then, the player, partner, and Espeon all head back to Post Town, where Espeon and Umbreon are reunited again. Then, Swadloon and Leavanny appear; Swadloon gives back the Entercards to Espeon and explains to everyone that Espeon entrusted the Entercards to him, so that they wouldn't fall into Purugly and Toxicroak's hands. A flashback is shown and Espeon says that Swadloon found the Entercards she buried before she gave them to him. Umbreon and Espeon tell them that they need to get things ready before opening a path to the Great Glacier.

A few days later, everyone wanted to go to the Great Glacier, but then Quagsire explains that HAPPI doesn't allow more than six Pokémon to travel during expeditions. Then, during the next day, everyone gathers at the hill of Post Town and then Umbreon and Espeon both put in all four Entercards, which summons a full Magnagate to the Great Glacier.

Meanwhile, the team arrives in Telluric Path, a dungeon path created by a Magnagate.

Then, at the crevasse of the Great Glacier, another Magnagate is summoned, which creates beams of light to appear, in which leads to another dungeon path created by a Magnagate, called Glacial Underpass.

A few days after the expedition though the Glacier Palace, Umbreon and Espeon summon another Magnagate for the player and partner to travel to Mt. Kilionea, where Munna is located. The player and their partner arrive in Kilionea Road, a dungeon path also created by a Magnagate.

Before the journey back to the Glacier Palace, Emolga summons a Magnagate successfully, which the player and their partner enter, and leads to a dungeon path called Tyrian Maze, which is created by a Magnagate. Virizion thinks that the activities caused by the Glacier Palace lifting into the sky has caused changes to the appearance of the dungeon, resulting in Tyrian Maze instead of Telluric Path.

They explain that they have found a different set of Entercards, which they begin to think that Keldeo made them and was an Entercard user. Upon explaining that the new set of Entercards are used for traveling into the sky, Umbreon and Espeon use the new Entercards to create a Magnagate one last time and they all arrive at the entrance to Glacier Palace - Eastern Spire.
