Name origin

Magneton's name may be a combination of magnet and ton — indicating that it is larger than Magnemite. A magneton is also a unit of magnetic movement, and a magnetron forms the core of a microwave oven. The rare in Rarecoil may be a reference to the fact that some rare earth elements have interesting magnetic properties, or it may simply be alluding to the fact that it is rarer than Magnemite.

Magneton appears to be a magnetic robot.

The original English name for Magneton was going to be "Recoil".
