Flavor Text

: The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate.
: The electromagnetic waves emitted by the units at the sides of its head expel antigravity, which allows it to float.

: The units at the sides of its body generate antigravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.
: It moves while constantly hovering. It discharges Thunder Wave and so on from the units at its sides.
: 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.
: 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.

: They gather in places where electricity is available. They can be found clinging to the steel towers used to support power lines.
: 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.
: It’s frequently the cause of power outages, which is why some power plants send out electrical signals that it can’t stand.
: Perhaps because electrical lines are often buried these days, the number of Magnemite attacks on power plants has increased.
