| ===Physiology===
| | Magnemite is a seemingly robotic life form that has a gray, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms|circular metal body with horseshoe magnets on each side}}, and a single, large eye. It has three {{wp|Phillips head}} screws on its body; two near the bottom of its body, and the other is on top of its head and looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's "head". Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, it still [[EP101|has emotions]], the [[EP195|need to eat]], and a way of reproducing. Its main form of nutrients is electrical currents, which is why it is commonly found in locations such as [[List_of_Pokémon_by_habitat#Rough-terrain_Pokémon|power plants or caves]] with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, carvings depicting Magnemite have been [[a:File:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|discovered]] at the [[Ruins of Alph]], indicating they have existed for at least 1,500 years. |
| Magnemite is a seemingly robotic life form that has a gray, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms|circular metal body with a horseshoe magnet on its left and right sides}}, and a single big eye.

Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat, and a way of reproducing. Magnemite might also be related to {{p|Beldum}} and {{p|Bronzor}} because all of them are partially {{type|Steel}} that create electromagnetic waves to float in the air. | |

| ====Gender differences====
| | The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive, but may approach trainers with little notice. It can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, [[EP030|including Pokémon]] or gadgets such as a [[Pokétch]]. In the care of a trainer, it can be a devoted fighter, but unless a strong bond is formed with its trainer, [[EP195|it may be deterred]]. If a wild Magnemite is approached, on rare occasions, [[Escape#Wild_Pokémon|it may simply flee]] as Magnemite don't care for interaction; however, if attacked, it will start retaliation with non-damaging moves. |
| Magnemite is a genderless species.

| ===Special abilities===
| |
| The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt various electrical equipment. The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate. However, it becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted. Magnemite usually attack by using electrical attacks such as {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Zap Cannon}}. Magnemite can also focus magnetic energy into a homing-attack known as {{m|Magnet Bomb}}. | |
| | |
| ===Behavior===
| |
| Magnemite generally keep to themselves. They are quiet and do not bother people. However, if anyone gets near them with magnets or something that emits large amounts of electricity, they can be attracted to such an object. Magnemite are very neutral, but they are very eager to please their Trainers and will fight hard. If a wild Magnemite is approached, they will usually go away as they don't care for interaction; however, if attacked, they will retaliate with non-damaging moves such as {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Supersonic}}. If the attacker persists, they will start to use damaging attacks such as {{m|ThunderShock}} or {{m|Magnet Bomb}}, and in extreme cases, {{m|Zap Cannon}}.

| ===Habitat===
| |
| [[File:Rough-terrain Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]] | |
| Magnemite can usually be found around power plants or any rough terrain where there may be large amounts of metal nearby. As a result, they can be found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]. Despite their modern, artificial appearance, carvings depicting Magnemite and Magneton have been [[a:File:Neo Premium File 2.jpg|discovered]] at the [[Ruins of Alph]], indicating they have existed for at least 1,500 years.

| ===Diet===
| |
| {{main|Pokémon food}}
| |
| Magnemite feed off electrical currents, which is why they are frequently found around [[power plant]]s.
