* The original English name for Magneton was going to be "Recoil". | * The original English name for Magneton was going to be "Recoil". | ||
*On some Pokémon art, Magneton's magnets are small in relation to body size. But on others, the magnets are larger in contrast. | |||
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is no visible evidence of this. In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when [[Ethan]]'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of getting together with two real Magnemite. This is similar to the games. However, in [[Pokémon Snap]], a Magneton ''is'' created by three Magnemite. | * Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is no visible evidence of this.

Magneton's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|magnet}}'' and ''ton'' — indicating that it is larger than Magnemite. A magneton is also a unit of magnetic movement, and a {{wp|magnetron}} forms the core of a {{wp|microwave oven}}. The ''rare'' in ''Rarecoil'' may be a reference to the fact that some {{wp|rare earth elements}} have interesting magnetic properties, or it may simply be alluding to the fact that it is rarer than Magnemite. | Magneton's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|magnet}}'' and ''ton'' — indicating that it is larger than Magnemite.
