Pokédex entries

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	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 antigravity 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.
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.
Emerald	The units at its sides are extremely powerful magnets. They generate enough magnetism to draw in iron objects from over 300 feet away.
Diamond Pearl	The units at its sides generate electromagnetic waves that keep it airborne. It feeds on electricity.
Platinum	The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate.
HeartGold	It is attracted by electromagnetic waves. It may approach Trainers if they are using their Pokégear.
SoulSilver	The units at the sides of its body generate antigravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.
Black White	The faster the units at its sides rotate, the greater the magnetic force they generate.
Black 2 White 2	The electromagnetic waves emitted by the units at the sides of its head expel antigravity, which allows it to float.
X	The units at the sides of its body generate antigravity energy to keep it aloft in the air.
Y	It moves while constantly hovering. It discharges Thunder Wave and so on from the units at its sides.
Omega 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.
Alpha 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.
Sun	They gather in places where electricity is available. They can be found clinging to the steel towers used to support power lines.
Moon	It sends out electromagnetic waves, which let it float through the air. Touching it while it’s eating electricity will give you a full-body shock.
Ultra Sun	It’s frequently the cause of power outages, which is why some power plants send out electrical signals that it can’t stand.
Ultra Moon	Perhaps because electrical lines are often buried these days, the number of Magnemite attacks on power plants has increased.
