Magneton (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

A Magnemite that belonged to {{an|Ethan}} in ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'' evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{TRT}}.

[[Wattson]] used a Magneton in his brief Gym Battle with Ash in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. Several wild Magneton appeared later in the episode.  

A Magneton belonging to an unnamed Trainer appeared in a Hall of Fame photograph in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.

Several Magneton were among the {{t|Electric}} Pokémon that were lured by the "Miracle Crystal" that [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] were using in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

Magneton makes a cameo aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as one of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pokémon ready to attack {{adv|Red}}. However, it debuts in the next round, ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', when some of them torture Red with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Lt. Surge uses two on his shoulder pads in ''[[PS029|Go for the Golbat]]'' where they produced sonic booms that act as a defensive barrier. Lt. Surge has a squad of Magneton, capable of using electromagnetism to create a tetrahedral aura. This aura is able to ferry people as well as attack and trap anything within, as seen in Volumes [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|3]], 7, [[Pokémon Adventures volume 10|10]], and [[Pokémon Adventures volume 12|12]].

Jasmine's two magneton first appeared in ''[[PS108|Quilava Quandary]]'', they were seen accompanying Jasmine through Ecruteak City. They, along with their Trainer, were caught in the earthquake the ravaged the entire area.

* Magneton, along with its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}}, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing, and the only ones to do so until Generation V when {{p|Rotom}}'s formes were given additional typing.  

* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is contradictory evidence seen in various forms of media.  

** In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{an|Ethan}}'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of combining with two real Magnemite. Similarly, in the main series games, when Magnemite reaches level 30, it evolves without the aid of two additional Magnemite. This is unlike {{p|Mantyke}} which requires a {{p|Remoraid}} to evolve.

* Magneton has been used by more rival characters than any other Pokémon, being used by three: {{ga|Blue}}, {{ga|Silver}}, and {{ga|Wally}}.

Magneton may be a reference to ''magneton'', a unit of magnetic movement, or a {{wp|magnetron}} forms the core of a {{wp|microwave oven}}.
