Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White

Many mysteriously appear when more sunspots dot the sun. They stop TV sets from displaying properly.

Black 2, White 2

The stronger electromagnetic waves from the three linked Magnemite are enough to dry out surrounding moisture.

Generation 6
X

A linked cluster formed of several Magnemite. It discharges powerful magnetic waves at high voltage.

Y

Generates strange radio signals. It raises the temperature by 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit within 3,300 feet.

Omega Ruby

Magneton emits a powerful magnetic force that is fatal to mechanical devices. As a result, large cities sound sirens to warn citizens of large-scale outbreaks of this Pokémon.

Alpha Sapphire

Magneton emits a powerful magnetic force that is fatal to electronics and precision instruments. Because of this, it is said that some towns warn people to keep this Pokémon inside a Poké Ball.

Generation 7
Sun

When three Magnemite link together, their brains also become one. They do not become three times more intelligent.

Moon

It has about three times the electrical power of Magnemite. For some reason, outbreaks of this Pokémon happen when lots of sunspots appear.

Ultra Sun

Delicate equipment can malfunction in areas inhabited by Magneton, which send out mysterious electrical signals.

Ultra Moon

When rain clouds form, many Magneton gather in high places to wait for lightning to strike.
