Magnemite Pokédex entries

8 generations · newest first
Generation VIII3 entries
Sword

At times, Magnemite runs out of electricity and ends up on the ground. If you give batteries to a grounded Magnemite, it’ll start moving again.

Shield

It subsists on electricity. As Magnemite flies, it emits electromagnetic waves from the units on each side of its body.

Legends: Arceus

A bizarre Pokémon with but a single eye embedded in an iron sphere. I suspect this creature levitates due to the magnetism it emits from its arms, which resemble horseshoe-shaped magnets.

Generation VII5 entries
Sun

They gather in places where electricity is available. They can be found clinging to the steel towers used to support power lines.

Moon

It sends out electromagnetic waves, which let it float through the air. Touching it while it’s eating electricity will give you a full-body shock.

Ultra Sun

It’s frequently the cause of power outages, which is why some power plants send out electrical signals that it can’t stand.

Ultra Moon

Perhaps because electrical lines are often buried these days, the number of Magnemite attacks on power plants has increased.

Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee

It is hatched with the ability to defy gravity. It floats while emitting powerful electromagnetic waves.

Generation VI4 entries
X

The units at the sides of its body generate antigravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.

Y

It moves while constantly hovering. It discharges Thunder Wave and so on from the units at its sides.

Omega Ruby

Magnemite attaches itself to power lines to feed on electricity. If your house has a power outage, check your circuit breakers. You may find a large number of this Pokémon clinging to the breaker box.

Alpha Sapphire

Magnemite floats in the air by emitting electromagnetic waves from the units at its sides. These waves block gravity. This Pokémon becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted.

Generation V2 entries
Black, White

The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate.

Black 2, White 2

The electromagnetic waves emitted by the units at the sides of its head expel antigravity, which allows it to float.

Generation IV4 entries
Diamond, Pearl

The units at its sides generate electromagnetic waves that keep it airborne. It feeds on electricity.

Platinum

The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate.

HeartGold

It is attracted by electromagnetic waves. It may approach Trainers if they are using their Pokégear.

SoulSilver

The units at the sides of its body generate antigravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.

Generation III5 entries
Ruby

MAGNEMITE attaches itself to power lines to feed on electricity. If your house has a power outage, check your circuit breakers. You may find a large number of this POKéMON clinging to the breaker box.

Sapphire

MAGNEMITE floats in the air by emitting electromagnetic waves from the units at its sides. These waves block gravity. This POKéMON becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted.

Emerald

The units at its sides are extremely powerful magnets. They generate enough magnetism to draw in iron objects from over 300 feet away.

FireRed

It moves while constantly hovering. It discharges THUNDER WAVE and so on from the units at its sides.

LeafGreen

Uses antigravity to stay suspended. Appears without warning and uses THUNDER WAVE and similar moves.

Generation II3 entries
Gold

It is attracted by electromagnetic waves. It may approach trainers if they are using their POKéGEAR.

Silver

The units at the sides of its body generate anti­ gravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.

Crystal

The electricity emitted by the units on each side of its body cause it to become a strong magnet.

Generation I2 entries
Red, Blue

Uses anti-gravity to stay suspended. Appears without warning and uses THUNDER WAVE and similar moves.

Yellow

It is born with the ability to defy gravity. It floats in air on powerful electro­ magnetic waves.
