Pokemon #082, Magneton, Electric/Steel type, Magnet Pokemon.

Intro: Magneton is the evolved version of Magnemite, which can also occur when three individual Magnemite become one. Magneton is litterally three Magnemite fused together, linked in a triangle formation. For more details on individual appearances of Magnemite, see the respective entry.

Habitat: Magneton is rarely found in areas with high energy potential, such as densely populated cities, power plants and locations with geo-magnetic fields such as chargestone caverns.

Diet: Magneton can sustain itself by draining energy from various sources such as lightning, power plants, houses, etc. It is also able of consuming regular pokemon foods, although the method of consumption is not well understood.

Magneton's individual brains communicate by magnetic waves. The brainwaves have completely synchronized, leaving no trace of individuality between individual units. In case of Magneto being formed through the fusion of three separate Magnemite, their personalities are lost during evolution.
Magneton is able to use his magnetic powers to fully ignore the pull of gravity. Ironically, this has not led to the ability levitate, which would make Magneton immune to Ground-type moves. In order to achieve levitation during combat, the move Magnet Rise is necessary. It is unknown why Magneton is able to levitate freely at any time except during combat.
Magneton are capable of storing vast amounts of electricity. They are also capable of wireless energy transfer, and can use this ability to drain buildings and power plants from their energy at a safe distance. In certain cases, people have reported random blackouts of singular houses, without ever having seen a culprit. It may have been one or more Magneton in such a case.
Although Magneton are completely mechanical pokemon, they are capable of emotions and can feel empathy towards others. Magneton are able to form a strong emotional bond with their trainer, although it doesn't have a way to physically express this.
The presence of a strong geo-electrical or geo-magnetic field can cause Magneton to evolve into Magnezone.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Class D: Magneton is a relatively uncommon pokemon in areas where Magnemite appear. However, Magneton is not so rare that the PLC deems additional legislation necessary.
