If the Lab feature in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] is used to view and save the contents of a [[Generation I]] game that includes a Magnemite or Magneton, and then that same Game Boy cartridge is loaded into the earlier Stadium game, attempting to register that Magnemite or Magneton for battle will cause the screen to show its types as Electric and Fire. This is because when Stadium 2 saved its data, it included data about the Pokémon's types from its own [[Generation II]] standpoint, which those two species being the only ones who underwent a type change between the generations. The Steel type does not exist in Generation I, and its index number falls in what would otherwise be a gap, so no graphic is defined for that type and in falling through the cases, the next sensibly-defined type it finds a graphic for is Fire, which is what's displayed.

This glitch is purely graphical, as the Magnemite or Magneton does not demonstrate any qualities of being Fire type in battle, and is still treated as being pure Electric.
