This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change type, and the only ones to do so until [[Generation V]] when {{p|Rotom}}'s formes were given an additional type. | ||

** In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}}'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. | ** In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}}'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of combining with two real Magnemite.

** In {{g|Snap}}, a Magneton is clearly shown to be created by three Magnemite. Also, when two Magnemite get stuck together halfway through evolution in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|original Mystery Dungeon games]], they mention how three Magnemite must come together to evolve. | ** In {{g|Snap}}, a Magneton is clearly shown to be created by three Magnemite.

** After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than Magnemite. Logically, it would be three times heavier if it were actually made of three Magnemite. Magnemite weighs 13.2 lbs. (6.0 kg) whereas Magneton weighs 132.3 lbs. (60.0 kg). | ** After evolution, Magneton becomes exactly ten times heavier than Magnemite.

* Magneton and Magnemite are two of few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]]. | |||

* Despite most depictions of Magneton showing they are able to float through the air, Magneton does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves. However, starting in [[Generation IV]], Magneton can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which simulates Levitate for five turns. | * Despite most depictions of Magneton showing they are able to float through the air, Magneton does not have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, so it is still affected by {{type|Ground}} moves.
