Magnemite (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

→‎Generation II type change: They changed type at the first possible opportunity (Gen I/II gap). Being the first isn't really anything special.
(→‎Generation II type change: See my edit to Magneton (Pokémon). Also, Rotom's forms didn't "gain" a type, they changed their secondary type. The difference is subtle, but significant.)

===Generation II type change===
===Generation II type change===
Magnemite, along with its evolution {{p|Magneton}}, were pure Electric-type in Generation I, but became dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} in Generation II, since the Steel type did not yet exist when they debuted. This makes them the first Pokémon to gain an extra type. Due to this type change, Magnemite is the first Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order. However, it was unable to learn any Steel-type moves until [[Generation III]].
