Magneton (Japanese: レアコイル Rarecoil) is an Electric/Steel-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Magneton is the result of three Magnemite being linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when no other Magnemites are in vicinity. There have are several ways that the three Magnemites that Magneton consists of can be linked together in. Magneton was originally thought to be a pure Electric-type Pokémon, but it was eventually discovered to have traits of a Steel-type Pokémon as well. Even though Magneton, it's pre-evolution and evolution are all mechanical creatures; they still have emotions, the need to eat and some way of reproducing. Magneton has been considered to be related to Metang since Metang is aslo a half Steel-type Pokémon that float by using electromagnetic waves.

Trivia
The original English name for Magneton was going to be "Recoil".
Origin
Magneton appears to be a magnetic robot.
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.
