Magnezone (Jibakoiru)

Magnezone appears to be based on the concept of a fused Magneton; one of the Magnemite taking a larger form and the remaining two Magnemite taking the forms of the smaller bodies on each side. The Magnemite evolution line seem to be based on the objectification of electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental interactions of nature. Magnezone in particular is possibly based on electromagnetic forming caused by electromagnetic fields and combined with an objectification in the form of a flying saucer or a UFO.

Magnezone is a shortening and combination of magnetic zone, an alternative name for a magnetic field.

Jibacoil is a combination of 磁場 jiba (magnetic field) and coil (referring to an electro-magnetic coil).

No: 462
English Name: Magnezone
Japanese Name: Jibakoiru
Generation: 4
Type: Electric, Steel

Abilities: Magnet Pull, Sturdy, Analytic (hidden ability)
Evolution: Magnemite > Magneton > Magnezone

Magnezone is the result of Magneton leveling up in the presence of a special magnetic field. The evolution is done on a molecular level, but despite this, scientists have failed at attempts to force it. Magnezone’s body is wide and circular, similar to a disc or saucer, with a thin edge circling the diameter of its body. Its main eye is in the center, containing a large, red pupil. On each side of its body, it has a ball shaped addition, with each side containing an eye, horseshoe magnet, and Phillips head screw. On top of its head is a tall, thin, yellow rod, closely resembling an antenna, which it uses for certain attacks. Behind its body is a third horseshoe magnet, positioned like a tail.

Magnezone is a seemingly-mechanical, genderless creature, but it has emotions, a way of reproducing, and the need for nourishment. With its magnets, it has the ability to control anti-gravity and float through the air at will. As seen in Giratina and the Sky Warrior and Phantom Thief Pokémon 7, Magnezone’s anti-gravity is strong enough to carry humans with ease. Magnezone is rarely seen in the wild, but as seen in the anime, Magnezone can be very aggressive and territorial. However, it will rarely attack unless provoked. Magnezone is said to be one of the best defensive Pokémon yet.

POKEDEX ENTRIES
Pokemon Diamond: It evolved from exposure to a special magnetic field. Three units generate magnetism.
Pokemon Pearl: It evolved from exposure to a special magnetic field. Three units generate magnetism.
Pokemon Platinum: A group tried to use scientific means to make Magnezone evolve, but their efforts ended in failure.
Pokemon HeartGold: Exposure to a special magnetic field changed Magneton’s molecular structure, turning it into Magnezone.
Pokemon SoulSilver: Exposure to a special magnetic field changed Magneton’s molecular structure, turning it into Magnezone.
