Magnemite Magnemite is a seemingly robotic Pokémon that has a gray, spherical metal body, with blue-and-red tipped horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three Phillips head screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body and the one on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head.

Magneton Magneton is a robot-like Pokémon, the result of three Magnemite becoming linked together by a strong magnetic force. Each individual Magnemite has a gray spherical body with a single eye, and a gray and red-and-blue tipped horseshoe magnet on each side.

Magnezone Magnezone is a robot-like Pokémon which resembles a UFO. Magnezone's tough steel 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 that resembles a Magnemite, with each side containing an eye, horseshoe magnet, and Phillips head screw. These secondary eyes can move independently of its main eye. 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. Shiny Magnezone is a robot-like Pokémon which resembles a UFO.

Mega Pokémon that boost Magnemite

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Magnemite if they are Mega/Primal evolved. It is best to use a Ground type mega so that it will boost both forms of Magnemite!

A Note on Mega Catch Bonus

While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

Is it worth evolving Magnemite?

PVP

While Magnezone’s typing does grant it some very useful resistances, it also comes with some very exploitable weaknesses. The biggest one being a double weakness to Ground.

More importantly, it can spam Mirror Shot to cripple the ATK of its opponents, something that renders the opponent weaker and possibly makes it switch out. 

Defensively, Magnezone’s set of resistances gives it favorable match-ups against some of the meta’s biggest superstars. 

It excels in the right match-ups and is underwhelming in the bad ones. However, in the right team comp and with bait and switch style play, Zone can be absolutely devastating as it is just so powerful, even when dealing resisted damage! Keep it away from Fighting and Ground types and let Zone go to work. Magnezone is also more than decent in the Master Premier format, particularly as an answer to Gyarados and Metagross.

PVE

Magnezone’s typing can be useful as a budget raid attacker too! Magnezone’s Steel typing offers it a very niche use in raids and gym battles: resistance to the Ice typing

Trainers tend to use Electric and Grass types to take down Water types. But how many times has that Kyogre OHKO’d your Electric and Grass types with a hard-hitting Blizzard? For that matter, Zapdos and Zekrom would take super-effective damage from that Blizzard!

Add the fact that Water types tend to be inherently bulky, you need an Electric type that can reliably tank Ice type hits and hit back with super-effective damage. 

Enter Magnezone. 

Magnezone can definitely take on nuke Ice type attacks and use an absolutely amazing Electric type moveset to zap out chunks of the opponent’s HP.
