A '''special magnetic field''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特殊な磁場|とくしゅなじば}}''' ''special magnetic field'') is where {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Nosepass}}, and {{p|Charjabug}} can evolve into {{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Probopass}}, and {{p|Vikavolt}}, respectively.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Vast Poni Canyon SM.png|thumb|300px|Vast Poni Canyon, an area in [[Alola]] with a special magnetic field.]]
* In [[Sinnoh]], [[Mount Coronet]] contains a special magnetic field. Magneton and Nosepass may evolve anywhere in Mount Coronet, including exterior areas, the [[Spear Pillar]], and the [[Hall of Origin]].
* In [[Unova]], [[Chargestone Cave]] contains a special magnetic field. This magnetism is also evident by the cave's puzzle: the player must push stone fragments blocking some passages so they are attracted by larger magnetic rocks, making it possible to continue.
* In [[Kalos]], {{rt|13|Kalos}} contains a special magnetic field that is produced by the nearby [[Kalos Power Plant]]. Despite the special magnetic field being produced by the Kalos Power Plant, Nosepass and Magneton will not evolve if leveled up inside the Power Plant.
* In [[Hoenn]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, a special magnetic field is present in [[New Mauville]].
* In [[Alola]], a special magnetic field is present in [[Blush Mountain]]{{sup/7|USUM}} and [[Vast Poni Canyon]].
* In [[Hisui]], a special magnetic field is present in the [[Coronet Highlands]].

There is no special magnetic field in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Galar]], or [[Paldea]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this means that Magneton and Nosepass cannot evolve at all—Magnezone and Probopass can only be obtained by trading with {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

Since [[Generation VIII]], Pokémon that can evolve using a special magnetic field can alternatively evolve via [[Thunder Stone]], aside from Nosepass in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]]. This is the only evolution method available in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], both Magneton and Nosepass can be evolved using either the special magnetic field or a Thunder Stone. In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], both can be used to evolve Magneton, while Nosepass requires the special magnetic field.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], due to the way [[Evolution#Mystery Dungeon series|evolution]] works, Magneton and Nosepass evolve through the use of the {{DL|Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|Coronet Rock}}.

===Pokémon GO===
Because [[Pokémon GO]] uses real-world locations, being within range of a [[PokéStop]] outfitted with a [[Magnetic Lure Module]] is required to induce evolution in Magneton, Nosepass, and Charjabug.

==In the anime==
In ''[[DP058|Nosing 'Round The Mountain!]]'', [[Alan]] specifically asked {{Ash}} to keep their battle near [[Mount Coronet]] so that his {{p|Nosepass}} could [[Evolution|evolve]], which it did.

In ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'', an island located in [[Diablo's Ocean]] contained a special magnetic field due to meteorites in the area. Several {{pkmn2|wild}} Nosepass and {{p|Probopass}} were seen inhabiting the island.

In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', {{an|Sophocles}} revealed that he wanted to evolve his {{p|Charjabug}} during his [[Pokémon School]] class's visit to [[Poni Island]]. Hearing this, the island's [[Nurse Joy]] suggested him to visit [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. In ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'', Sophocles visited the canyon, and his Charjabug successfully evolved into {{TP|Sophocles|Vikavolt}} thanks to the canyon's special magnetic field.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS349|Passing by Probopass and Maneuvering around Magnezone]]'', [[Cyrus]]'s Nosepass and Magneton evolved while inside [[Mount Coronet]].
