Pokedex descriptions

Red
Blue
Uses anti-gravity to stay suspended. Appears without warning and uses THUNDER WAVE and similar moves.
Yellow It is born with the ability to defy gravity. It floats in air on powerful electromagnetic waves.
Gold
HeartGold
It is attracted by electromagnetic waves. It may approach trainers if they are using their POKéGEAR.
Silver The units at the sides of its body generate anti-gravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.
Crystal The electricity emitted by the units on each side of its body cause it to become a strong magnet.
Ruby MAGNEMITE attaches itself to power lines to feed on electricity. If your house has a power outage, check your circuit breakers. You may find a large number of this POKéMON clinging to the breaker box.
Sapphire MAGNEMITE floats in the air by emitting electromagnetic waves from the units at its sides. These waves block gravity. This POKéMON becomes incapable of flight if its internal electrical supply is depleted.
Emerald The units at its sides are extremely powerful magnets. They generate enough magnetism to draw in iron objects from over 300 feet away.
FireRed It moves while constantly hovering. It discharges THUNDER WAVE and so on from the units at its sides.
LeafGreen Uses antigravity to stay suspended. Appears without warning and uses THUNDER WAVE and similar moves.
Diamond
Pearl
The units at its sides generate electromagnetic waves that keep it airborne. It feeds on electricity.
Platinum
Black
White
The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate.
SoulSilver The units at the sides of its body generate antigravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.
Black 2
White 2
The electromagnetic waves emitted by the units at the sides of its head expel antigravity, which allows it to float.
