Magnezone (Japanese: ジバコイル Jibacoil) is a dual-type Electric/Steel Pokémon.
It evolves from Magneton when leveled up in a special magnetic field. It is the final form of Magnemite.
Biology
Magnezone is 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 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. 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 is a seemingly-mechanical, genderless 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 seen in the wild, but as seen in the anime, Magnezone can be very aggressive and territorial. However, it will rarely attack unless provoked. Magnezone is said to be one of the best defensive Pokémon yet.
In the anime
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.
A Magnezone appeared in Secrets From Out of the Fog!, Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry! and Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals! under the ownership of Barret, a Team Plasma Grunt.
A Magnezone appeared in Confronting the Darkness! under the ownership of Belmondo.
Minor appearances
Six Magnezone appeared in The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!.

Trophy information
"A Magnet Area Pokémon. It's a Magneton that evolved in a special magnetic field at Mt. Coronet. Its appearance is quite different after it evolves, but it still has three round eyes. Its shape changes but not its type--it's still both an Electric and Steel type. It learns Magnet Rise, a technique that temporarily nullifies Ground-type attacks, a traditional weakness."

Trivia
- As there is no strongly electromagnetic location in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is impossible to evolve Magneton into a Magnezone in these games. The same applies for Probopass, Leafeon, and Glaceon. All have to be traded from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to be obtained.
- The colors on the ends of Magnezone's magnets can turn on and off at will, as seen in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and the 3D Pokémon games.
- In Pokémon Battle Revolution, if Magnezone is caused to fall asleep, its central "eye" remains open. The outer eyes, however, close.
- This is reversed in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, yet maintained in Pokémon X and Y.
- In the September 2013 Pokémon Direct, Magnezone was mistakenly labeled as a female Pokémon, when it should be genderless. It was later corrected on the official website.
- Despite most depictions of Magnezone showing they are able to float through the air, Magnezone does not have the Ability Levitate, so it is still affected by Ground-type moves. However, Magnezone can learn Magnet Rise, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
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 a shortening and combination of magnetic zone, an alternative name for a magnetic field.
Jibacoil is a combination of 磁場 jiba (magnetic field) and coil (referring to an electro-magnetic coil).
