'''Magnemite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コイル''' ''Coil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation II]], it was a pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.


It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, who evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when leveled up in [[Mt. Coronet]] or [[Electric Rock Cave]].
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Magneton}} starting at [[level]] 30, which evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} when [[level]]ed up in a [[special magnetic field]].


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magnemite is a seemingly robotic Pokémon that has a gray, spherical metal body with blue-and-red tipped horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body and the one on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, [[EP101|the anime has shown]] that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. [[EP195|It has even exhibited]] the need to eat, although its main form of nutrients is electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|power plants or caves}} with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, [[Media:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|Magnemite has been depicted in carvings]] discovered at the [[Ruins of Alph]] and has been present in [[AZ]]'s retelling of the Kalos war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.
Magnemite is a seemingly-robotic life form that has a gray, circular metal body with a single big eye, a horse shoe magnet on its left and right sides, two {{wp|Phillips head}} screws that serve no noticeable purpose, and another Phillips head screw on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. Magnemite was originally thought to be a pure {{type2|Electric}}, but research eventually led to the discovery that traits of a {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon were present, too. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat, and a way of reproducing. Magnemite also might be related to {{p|Beldum}} and {{p|Bronzor}} due to the fact that all of them are partially Steel-type that create electromagnetic waves to float in the air.
 
====Gender differences====
The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive, but may approach Trainers with little notice. If a wild Magnemite is approached, [[Escape#Wild Pokémon|it may simply flee]] on rare occasions, as Magnemite does not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will start retaliation with non-damaging moves. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, [[EP195|it has been demonstrated that]] it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer.
Magnemite is a genderless species.
 
Magnemite can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a [[Pokétch]]. [[EP030|It has even been shown]] to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. With modern electrical lines buried underground, Magnemite attacks on power plants have increased. To prevent power outages, these power plants deliberately send out signals Magnemite cannot stand to ward them off.
 
==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Clemont Magnemite.png|thumb|left|250px|Magnemite in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
Magnemite debuted in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were in [[Gringey City]] while the power went out. When they were looking around for the cause of the power outage, a lone Magnemite showed up and was attracted to [[Ash's Pikachu]], who had a cold. When a group of {{p|Grimer}} and its {{AP|Muk}} leader were chasing Ash and his friends, a group of Magnemite and {{p|Magneton}} helped fight them off.
 
In ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} met a man named {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}} who used Magnemite to harness electrical energy from bolts of lightning during thunderstorms, with this energy being given to towns without power. Magnemite #6 evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and Pikachu from {{TRT}}.
 
Three Magnemite appeared in ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]'', under the ownership of a group of [[phony Pokémon interpreters]]. They were convinced by [[Simon]] to cease their attacks on a [[Pokémon Center]].
 
Ten Magnemite appeared in ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', where they served as security guards for an electric company's power station. They first attacked Team Rocket, who had sneaked into the power station. Later on, Ash saw the door had been opened by someone, and upon investigation, he was also attacked by the Magnemite.
 
A Magnemite debuted in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]'', under the ownership of [[Jasmine]]. It was seen riding on Jasmine's shoulder through the whole episode. Magnemite was later used in her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash in ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]''; it battled {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was able to defeat Magnemite with {{m|Quick Attack}}.
 
A Magnemite appeared in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', under the ownership of [[Wattson]]. Much like Jasmine's Magnemite, this Magnemite battled Pikachu during Ash's Gym battle against Wattson. It was defeated when Pikachu became overpowered. Three {{pkmn2|wild}} Magnemite also appeared later on in the episode.
 
Multiple Magnemite appeared in ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play!]]'', where they were among the {{type|Steel}} Pokémon in the [[Valley of Steel]] picking on a wild {{AP|Torkoal}}.
 
A Magnemite appeared in [[PK13]], where it attacked Meowth and Wobbuffet with {{m|Thunder Wave}}, but it was quickly defeated by Wobbuffet's {{m|Counter}}.
 
An army of Magnemite and {{p|Magneton}}, led by a {{p|Magnezone}}, appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', under the ownership of the main antagonist [[Zero]]. They were mainly used by Zero as a swarm to trap or capture targets. They were also able to contain people and Pokémon by linking together around them, preventing them from moving.
 
{{an|Brock}} temporarily trained a Magnemite belonging to the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''. Unlike the rest of the group, Brock had no problems bonding with and educating his Pokémon.
 
A wild Magnemite appeared in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'' as a resident of a {{OBP|Deserted Island|BW087|deserted island}}. It attacked {{an|Iris}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} with an Electric attack.
 
Two Magnemite appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', and ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', both under the ownership of {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s.
 
{{an|Clemont}} owns a Magnemite, which debuted in ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]''. It stays at the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Clemont's Magnemite was later used in ''[[XY137|Battling with a Clean Slate!]]'', during a Gym battle against [[Alvin]], who defeated Magnemite with his {{p|Vivillon}}.
 
====Minor appearances====
A Magnemite appeared in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'' as one of the Pokémon seen at the [[Pokémon Theme Park]].
 
Two Magnemite appeared in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', acting as {{wp|Lighting Technician|lighting technicians}} for the film "{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}".


====Special abilities====
Four Magnemite appeared in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', where they were among the Pokémon controlled by [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] at [[Mandarin Island North]].
The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and that can potentially disrupt various electrical equipment. The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate. However, it becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted. Magnemite usually attack by using electrical attacks such as {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Zap Cannon}}. Magnemite can also focus magnetic energy into a homing-attack known as {{m|Magnet Bomb}}.


===Behavior===
Multiple Magnemite appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
Magnemite generally keep to themselves. They are quiet and do not bother people. However, if anyone gets near them with magnets or something that emits large amounts of electricity, they can be attracted to such an object. Magnemite are very neutral, but they are very eager to please their trainers and will fight hard. If a wild Magnemite is approached, they will usually go away as they don't care for interaction, however, if attacked, they will retaliate with non-damaging moves such as {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Supersonic}}. If the attacker persists, they will start to use damaging attacks such as {{m|ThunderShock}} or {{m|Magnet Bomb}}, and in extreme cases, {{m|Zap Cannon}}.


===Habitat===
Multiple wild Magnemite appeared in ''[[PK04|Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''.
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Magnemite can usually be found around power plants or any rough terrain where there may be large amounts of metal nearby. As a result, they can be found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and even [[Sinnoh]].


===Diet===
A Magnemite appeared in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', under the ownership of a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} participating in [[Pokémon Beauty Contest|a Pokémon breeding competition]].
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* "Coil" was originally going to be Magnemite's English name, the same as its Japanese name.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Magnemite was originally known as "Coil", from its Japanese name.
* Magnemite is the first Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Magnemite, along with its evolution {{p|Magneton}}, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing with the progress of generations.
* Despite most of Magnemite's Pokédex entries saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the ability {{a|Levitate}}, and so they are still affected by {{m|Earthquake}} or other Ground-type moves. However, as of [[Generation IV]], Magnemite can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}} which simulates Levitate for a short period of time.
* Despite most of Magnemite's Pokédex entries saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magnemite can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
* Magnemite and its evolutionary line have twelve resistances and one immunity, making them the most resistant Pokémon to date. With the addition of {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which makes them immune to {{type2|Ground}} attacks for a short period of time, their only double weakness is negated.
* Magnemite, along with {{p|Magneton}}, has [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appeared in every regional Pokédex]]. This is due to the Sinnoh Pokédex's expansion in Platinum and the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
* Due to their inclusion in Platinum's extended Sinnoh Pokédex, Magnemite and Magneton have appeared in every Japan-centric regional Pokédex.
* Magnemite and its evolution Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Magnemite and its evolution Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in Generation III. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* {{g|Snap}} is the only form of a Pokémon canon that shows two Magnemite bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
* Magnemite and its evolutions are the only dual-typed {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line.
** {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} also showed this, but it was stated to be a failed evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.
* Magnemite and its evolved forms are the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon to naturally learn {{m|Zap Cannon}}, before [[Generation V]].
* In [[Generation V]], Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the [[GTS]]. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.
* Magnemite is the first genderless Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] order.
* On May 31, 2017, [[The Pokémon Company]] posted a Magnemite-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled [[Where is Coil? Here is Coil!]].
* {{g|Snap}} is the only form of a Pokémon canon that shows two Magnemite bonding, similar to a Magneton, but when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
 
===Generation II type change===
Magnemite, along with its evolution {{p|Magneton}}, were pure Electric-type in Generation I, but became dual-type Electric/Steel in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to gain an extra type, the others being {{p|Rotom|Rotom's}} [[form differences#Rotom|other forms]] in [[Gen V]]. One could argue that this was purely because the Steel type had not been officially recognized by Pokémon researchers in Generation I; however, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, they are Electric/Steel-type. Due to this type change, Magnemite is the first Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order, but it was unable to learn any Steel-type moves until [[Generation III]].

Magnemite's name appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|magnet}}'' and ''{{wp|mite}}'', in the sense of small creature. Alternatively, it could be a play on ''{{wp|magnetite}}''. Its Japanese name is simply ''coil'', perhaps referring to the fact that a coil with electric current generates a magnetic field.
Magnemite may be a play on ''{{wp|magnetite}}''. It may also be a combination of ''magnet'' or ''magnetite'' and ''mite'', referring to its small size.
 
Coil is literally ''coil'', perhaps referring to the fact that a coil with electric current generates a magnetic field.

Magnemite (Japanese: コイル Coil) is a dual-type Electric/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation II, it was a pure Electric-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Magneton starting at level 30, which evolves into Magnezone when leveled up in a special magnetic field.

Biology

Magnemite is a seemingly robotic Pokémon that has a gray, spherical metal body with blue-and-red tipped horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three Phillips head screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body and the one on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, the anime has shown that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. It has even exhibited the need to eat, although its main form of nutrients is electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as power plants or caves with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, Magnemite has been depicted in carvings discovered at the Ruins of Alph and has been present in AZ's retelling of the Kalos war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.

The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive, but may approach Trainers with little notice. If a wild Magnemite is approached, it may simply flee on rare occasions, as Magnemite does not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will start retaliation with non-damaging moves. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, it has been demonstrated that it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer.

Magnemite can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a Pokétch. It has even been shown to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. With modern electrical lines buried underground, Magnemite attacks on power plants have increased. To prevent power outages, these power plants deliberately send out signals Magnemite cannot stand to ward them off.

Major appearances

Magnemite debuted in Sparks Fly for Magnemite. Ash and his friends were in Gringey City while the power went out. When they were looking around for the cause of the power outage, a lone Magnemite showed up and was attracted to Ash's Pikachu, who had a cold. When a group of Grimer and its Muk leader were chasing Ash and his friends, a group of Magnemite and Magneton helped fight them off.

In Get Along, Little Pokémon, Ash, Misty, and Tracey met a man named Ethan who used Magnemite to harness electrical energy from bolts of lightning during thunderstorms, with this energy being given to towns without power. Magnemite #6 evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and Pikachu from Team Rocket.

Three Magnemite appeared in The Poké Spokesman, under the ownership of a group of phony Pokémon interpreters. They were convinced by Simon to cease their attacks on a Pokémon Center.

Ten Magnemite appeared in Current Events, where they served as security guards for an electric company's power station. They first attacked Team Rocket, who had sneaked into the power station. Later on, Ash saw the door had been opened by someone, and upon investigation, he was also attacked by the Magnemite.

A Magnemite debuted in Fight for the Light!, under the ownership of Jasmine. It was seen riding on Jasmine's shoulder through the whole episode. Magnemite was later used in her Gym battle with Ash in Nerves of Steelix!; it battled Pikachu, who was able to defeat Magnemite with Quick Attack.

A Magnemite appeared in Watt's with Wattson?, under the ownership of Wattson. Much like Jasmine's Magnemite, this Magnemite battled Pikachu during Ash's Gym battle against Wattson. It was defeated when Pikachu became overpowered. Three wild Magnemite also appeared later on in the episode.

Multiple Magnemite appeared in All Torkoal, No Play!, where they were among the Steel-type Pokémon in the Valley of Steel picking on a wild Torkoal.

A Magnemite appeared in PK13, where it attacked Meowth and Wobbuffet with Thunder Wave, but it was quickly defeated by Wobbuffet's Counter.

An army of Magnemite and Magneton, led by a Magnezone, appeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior, under the ownership of the main antagonist Zero. They were mainly used by Zero as a swarm to trap or capture targets. They were also able to contain people and Pokémon by linking together around them, preventing them from moving.

Brock temporarily trained a Magnemite belonging to the Pokémon Summer Academy in Camping It Up!. Unlike the rest of the group, Brock had no problems bonding with and educating his Pokémon.

A wild Magnemite appeared in Expedition to Onix Island! as a resident of a deserted island. It attacked Iris and Axew with an Electric attack.

Two Magnemite appeared in Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!, Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!, and Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!, both under the ownership of Team Plasma Grunts.

Clemont owns a Magnemite, which debuted in Clemont's Got a Secret!. It stays at the Lumiose Gym. Clemont's Magnemite was later used in Battling with a Clean Slate!, during a Gym battle against Alvin, who defeated Magnemite with his Vivillon.

Trivia

  • In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Magnemite was originally known as "Coil", from its Japanese name.
  • Magnemite, along with its evolution Magneton, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type Electric/Steel in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing with the progress of generations.
  • Despite most of Magnemite's Pokédex entries saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the Ability Levitate, so it is still affected by Ground-type moves. However, starting in Generation IV, Magnemite can learn Magnet Rise, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
  • Magnemite, along with Magneton, has appeared in every regional Pokédex. This is due to the Sinnoh Pokédex's expansion in Platinum and the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
  • Magnemite and its evolution Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their cry changed slightly in Generation III. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and newer game system.
  • Pokémon Snap is the only form of a Pokémon canon that shows two Magnemite bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
  • In Generation V, Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the GTS. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their Join Avenue in Black 2 and White 2 by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.
  • On May 31, 2017, The Pokémon Company posted a Magnemite-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled Where is Coil? Here is Coil!.

Origin

Magnemite seems to be based on a magnet. It may also be based on the objectification of electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental interactions of nature.

Name origin

Magnemite may be a play on magnetite. It may also be a combination of magnet or magnetite and mite, referring to its small size.

Coil is literally coil, perhaps referring to the fact that a coil with electric current generates a magnetic field.
