(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)
==Biology==
Magnezone is a robot-like which resembles a UFO. It is the result of leveling up in the presence of a special magnetic field. The Evolution occurs on a molecular level, but despite this, scientists have failed at attempts to force it. 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 screw. These secondary eyes can move independently of its main eye, as shown in Confronting the Darkness!. 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.
Magnezone's Evolution is theorized to have been caused by a special magnetic field that changed the molecular structure within its body. Magnezone is a seemingly-mechanical, gender-unknown creature, but it has emotions, a way of reproducing, and the need for nourishment. With its magnets, it has the ability to control anti-gravity and float through the air at will. As seen in Giratina and the Sky Warrior and Phantom Thief Pokémon 7, Magnezone's anti-gravity is strong enough to carry humans with ease. Magnezone is rarely sighted in the wild. As seen in Regaining the Home Advantage!, Magnezone can be very aggressive and territorial, although it will rarely attack without provocation. It flies through the night sky, often mistaken for a UFO sighting, though it seems to be receiving and sending signals from an unknown source and an unknown purpose. This leads some people to believe that Magnezone came from outer space and that it is being controlled by unknown beings. As mentioned in the Sleep Style Dex, Magnezone's screws and magnets will spin while it sleeps. It is believed that a sleeping Magnezone emits signals of unknown purpose and receiving signals of unknown origin. However, researchers are divided on if this point is true or not.

===Evolution data===
Magnezone evolves from when leveled up in a special magnetic field. Magneton cannot evolve into Magnezone in , due to there being no area in Kanto or Johto with a special magnetic field. Magneton also cannot evolve in , as Magnezone is not present in those games. There is also no special magnetic field in or , so from Generation VIII onwards, Magneton is also able to evolve into Magnezone when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

====Trophy information====
"A Magnet Area Pokémon. It's a Magneton that evolved in a special magnetic field at Mt. Coronet. Its appearance is quite different after it evolves, but it still has three round eyes. Its shape changes but not its type--it's still both an Electric and Steel type. It learns Magnet Rise, a technique that temporarily nullifies attacks, a traditional weakness."
==Trivia==
* As there is no special magnetic field in , it is impossible to evolve Magneton into a Magnezone in these games. The same applies for , , and . All have to be traded from to be obtained.
** Despite this, Gym Leaders Jasmine and Lt. Surge, who respectively used Magnemite and Magneton in their Gym s, inexplicably appear to have evolved them to Magnezone in their rematches.
* The colors on the ends of Magnezone's magnets can turn on and off at will, as seen in the and the 3D Pokémon games.
* In and later games, if Magnezone falls asleep, its center "eye" remains open. However, the outer eyes close.
* In the September 2013 Pokémon Direct, Magnezone was mistakenly labeled as a female Pokémon, when it should be gender unknown. It was later corrected on the official website.
===Origin===
Magnezone appears to be based on the concept of a fused Magneton; one of the Magnemite taking a larger form and the remaining two Magnemite taking the forms of the smaller bodies on each side. The Magnemite evolutionary line seem to be based on the objectification of , one of the four s of nature. Magnezone in particular is possibly based on caused by s and combined with an objectification in the form of a or a .
Magnezone's shape and name may also be inspired by the owned by daimyō . According to legend, he filled the tea kettle with gunpowder and caused it to explode to prevent from taking it as a prize.
====Name origin====
Magnezone may be derived from magnetic zone, an alternative name for a .
Jibacoil may be a combination of 磁場 jiba (magnetic field), 自爆 jibaku (self-detonation), and .
