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

It evolves from Magneton via level-up in Mt. Coronet or Electric Rock Cave. It is the final form of Magnemite.

Biology

Physiology

Magnezone is the result of Magneton leveling up in the presence of a special magnetic field that has only been discovered at Mt. Coronet and Electric Rock Cave. The center Magnemite of Magneton has grown bigger and more oval-shaped than the other two upon evolution. The middle Magnemite also has a red pupil in its eye instead of a black one and a yellow antenna on top of it. Magnezone as a whole is a darker color gray than its pre-evolutions, surrounded by a thin, metal rim and two dark-gray horse-shoe magnets that are positioned to look like metal claws. There is also a third horse-shoe magnet on the back of the middle Magnemite that is positioned like a tail.

Unlike Magnemite and Magneton, Magnezone has been recognized as an Electric/Steel Pokémon ever since it was discovered. Even though Magnezone and its pre-evolutions are seemingly-mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, they need to eat, and they have some way of reproducing. Magnezone could possibly be related to Metagross, who is also a half Steel-type Pokémon that floats by using electromagnetic waves.

Gender differences

Magnezone is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Magnezone use the same moves that Magnemite and Magneton can learn, except that its attacks are stronger than Magnemite and Magneton. However, Magnezone is slower than its previous evolution, most likely due to the added weight. Magnezone is also the only member of its evolutionary line that can learn Barrier and Mirror Coat.

Behavior

If frightened, Magnezone will discharge electricity uncontrollably.

Habitat

Magnezone can sometimes be found living in power plants, but they are significantly rarer than either Magnemite or Magneton. Sometimes, Magnezone take up permanent residence at Mt. Coronet, but they are still significantly hard to find.

Major appearances

Magnezone made its debut in the movie Giratina and the Sky Warrior under the ownership of the main antagonist, Zero. Despite Zero's maniacal behavior, Magnezone was very loyal to him. Magnezone generally acted as a leader to the Magnemite/Magneton army.

A wild Magnezone appeared in Regaining the Home Advantage!, where it battled non-stop with a Metagross. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena" (a deep crater) became filled with water. Because their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry DP158 Magnezone Ash's Pokédex Magnezone, the Magnet Area Pokémon. It evolves from Magneton in certain magnetic areas, and emits energy from each of its three magnets.

In the manga

In Pokémon Adventures

Cyrus took his Magneton to Mt. Coronet to evolve it. He ordered it and his Nosepass to attack Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum; as they attacked, they evolved into Magnezone and Probopass, respectively. He later used it to dispatch Diamond at the Celestic Ruins with its Magnet Bomb, and when the boy put up a resistance, its Charge Beam hit Wig straight on to recover the camera Cyrus used to photograph the ruin paintings. Diamond even tried to hide it in Lax's fur, but it proved to be a difficult opponent to deal with when its Magnet Pull ability almost pulled it right back with such force that even an Iron Ball rose from the ground. Pearl, deciding to help his friend, eventually broke it using Chahiko.

Trivia

• As Mt. Coronet is not accessible in HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions, it is impossible to evolve Magneton into a Magnezone in the games. The same applies for Probopass. Both have to be traded from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Versions to be obtained. It is also inaccessible in Black and White Versions; however, players can now evolve said Pokémon by level up in the Electric Rock Cave.
  • This also occurs for Glaceon and Leafeon, who both evolve in Route 217 and Eterna Forest respectively, which are both Sinnoh locations. They, like Probopass and Magnezone, now evolve in different locations in Generation V: Spiral Mountain and Pinwheel Forest, respectively.
• Magnezone and its evolutionary line have twelve resistances and one immunity, making them the most resistant Pokémon to date. With the addition of Magnet Rise, which makes them immune to Template:Type2 attacks for a short period of time, their only double weakness is negated.
  • Additionally, only one type hits it for neutral damage, with the rest having no effect, being not very effective, or being super effective.
• Magnezone's Sugimori artwork and in-game menu sprite show that the poles of its magnets are red and blue, but in its Diamond and Pearl and Black and White sprites and in its anime appearances, none of its magnets have color on the end.
  • In Pokémon Platinum this oversight was corrected. The blue in its sprite is deeper than in the art and on its pre-evolutions, however.
  • As seen in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, Magnezone may have the capability to turn the colors "on and off", similar to a police car's siren light.
• Magnezone and its pre-evolution Magneton have National Pokédex numbers that differ by 380, more than any other two Pokémon related by evolution.
• Magnezone has the highest Special Attack of any Template:Type2 Pokémon, and highest Special Attack of any non-legendary Template:Type2 Pokémon. Magnezone also has the highest Defense of all non-legendary Electric-type Pokémon.
• Magnezone's role in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness as a police officer is often thought to be a reference to Robocop.
• In Pokémon Battle Revolution, if Magnezone is caused to fall asleep, its central "eye" remains open. The outer eyes, however, close.

Origin

Magnezone appears to be based on the concept of a fused Magneton; one of the Magnemite taking a larger form and the remaining two Magnemite taking the forms of the smaller bodies on each side. The Magnemite evolution line seem to be based on the objectification of electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental interactions of nature. Magnezone in particular is possibly based on Electromagnetic forming caused by electromagnetic fields and combined with an objectification in the form of a flying saucer or a UFO.

Name origin

Magnezone is derived from a shortening and portmanteau of "magnetic zone", an alternative name for a magnetic field. Jibacoil's name is from 磁場 jiba, the Japanese word for magnetic field, and the coil part refers to an electro-magnetic coil.

In other languages

• German: Magnezone
• French: Magnezone
• Korean: 자포코일 Japocoil - A combination of 자폭 (explode) and 코일 (Japanese name of Magnemite)
• Chinese (Taiwan): 自爆磁怪 Zì Bào Cí Guài - Literally "Self-detonating magnetic monster".
