===Generation II type change===
===Generation II type change===
Magneton, along with its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}}, were pure Electric-type in Generation I, but became dual type Electric/Steel in Generation II. This makes them the first, and currently only Pokémon to gain an extra type. One could argue that this was purely because the Steel type had not been officially recognized by Pokémon researchers in Generation I; however, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} they are Electric/Steel-type. Due to this type change, Magneton is the second Steel-type Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order (after Magnemite), but it was unable to learn any Steel-type moves until [[Generation III]] (and even then, it could only learn {{m|Metal Sound}}).
