#462 Magnezone

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

It evolves from Magneton when leveled up in a special magnetic field or when exposed to a Thunder Stone. It is the final form of Magnemite.

Magnezone is a robot-like Pokémon which resembles a UFO. It’s the result of Magneton leveling up in the presence of a special magnetic field. The evolution is done on a molecular level, but despite this, scientists have failed at attempts to force it. Magnezone’s tough steel body is wide and circular, similar to a disc or saucer, with a thin edge circling the diameter of its body. Its main eye is in the center, containing a large, red pupil. On each side of its body, it has a ball-shaped addition, with each side containing an eye, horseshoe magnet, and Phillips head screw. These secondary eyes can move independently of its main eye, as shown in Confronting the Darkness!. On top of its head is a tall, thin, yellow rod, closely resembling an antenna, which it uses for certain attacks. Behind its body is a third horseshoe magnet, positioned like a tail.

Magnezone’s evolution is theorized to have been caused by a special magnetic field that changed the molecular structure within its body. Magnezone is a seemingly-mechanical, gender unknown creature, but it has emotions, a way of reproducing, and the need for nourishment. With its magnets, it has the ability to control anti-gravity and float through the air at will. As seen in Giratina and the Sky Warrior and Phantom Thief Pokémon 7, Magnezone’s anti-gravity is strong enough to carry humans with ease. Magnezone is rarely sighted in the wild. As seen in the anime, Magnezone can be very aggressive and territorial, although it will rarely attack without provocation. It flies through the night sky, often mistaken for a UFO sighting, though it seems to be receiving and sending signals from an unknown source and an unknown purpose. This leads some people to believe that Magnezone came from outer space and that it is being controlled by unknown beings.“-Bulbapedia.
