Magnezone (ジバコイル, Jibakoiru^?, Jibacoil in original Japanese language versions) are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar^[1] Pokémon media franchise—a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards, and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. The purpose of Magnezone in the games, anime, and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon - untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments - and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.^[2]

Magnezone's name is a contraction of the phrase "magnetic zone," which is a magnetic field. Magnezone's Japanese name is a combination of the Japanese word for magnetic field (磁場, jiba^?) and the English word coil.

Biological characteristics

Magnezone's appearance is similar to that of a UFO. One of the Magnemite that this Pokémon consists of has grown bigger than the other two; its pupil has dilated and turned red; and the screw on top appears to have been replaced by a yellow antenna upon evolution. Magnezone has three horse-shoe magnets. Two are positioned in a fashion that resembles a pair of claws, and a third is positioned as a tail. Its body is surrounded by a thin metal rim. It is approximately three times heavier than Magneton. The body has a silver color like Magnezone's pre-evolved forms.

In the video games

Magnezone is one of several Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It evolves from Magneton that have leveled up at Tengan Mountain similar to fellow magnet Pokémon Nosepass.
