Robyn's Magnezone

**Robyn's Magnezone** (Japanese: **ろびんのジバコイル** *Robyn's Jibacoil*) is the fourth Pokémon Robyn Oak was seen to possess.

## **History**

### **Kanto**

Magneton first appeared as a Magnemite when Robyn bought him from the Celadon Game Corner. After Robyn let Magnemite out of its Poké Ball, it ran away, causing Robyn to run into Edge. Because of this, the two accidentally traded their Pokémon. During the three days that Edge has Robyn's team, he attempts to get them to relax and open up to him, with little success. They later traded back, while keeping the caring attitude that Edge installed in them, and Robyn noted that Magnemite began slightly obeying him.

During the battle against Team Rocket at Silph Co., Magnemite joins forces with Edge's Pikachu, and together, they launch a coordinated Electric-type attack that knocks Koga out cold.

### **Two Years Later**

Magnemite helped Robyn and Bayley defeat a group of rampaging Mankey and Primeape after using its ability to move through cyberspace to switch from Robyn's Pokédex to Bayley's.

### **Crisis of Deoxys**

Magnemite is revealed to have evolved into Magneton as its used alongside Golduck in a Double Battle against Edge's Snorlax and Gyarados. Gyarados starts off by activating its Intimidate Ability, and Robyn responds responds by having Golduck use Iron Tail and Magneton use Tri Attack on Edge's Pokémon. Robyn states that while he can take the easy way out, if his opponent is Edge, he doesn't have a choice but to go all out.

Edge has Gyarados use Hurricane on Magneton, while having Snorlax attack Golduck with Strength. Despite the damage he just delt to Robyn's Pokémon, Edge's floor begins to move backwards. Ultima points out that while Gyarados's Intimidate Ability did lower the damage of Robyn's team's attacks, his attack was still more powerful. Finally figuring out how the floor's movement works, Edge has Gyarados use Hyper Beam on Golduck. Robyn has Golduck take cover by going underground with Dig. Edge counters by having Snorlax use Earthquake, dealing damage to Magneton, twice the damage to Golduck due to it being underground, and having Gyarados unaffected due to him being part Flying-type.

The attack does enough damage to faint Robyn's Golduck, causing Robyn's floor to start moving backwards. Edge praises his team, but notices that Gyarados had been paralyzed by the effects of Tri Attack, and Robyn takes this chance to switch Magneton for Pinsir.

Later, Magneton uses its cyber abilities to infiltrate into the Trainer Tower's computer system "**R**". Using the Salac Berry that Robyn gave it, Magneton quickly reaches the central nervous system and attacks with Zap Cannon, disabling it. Not long after this, "**R**" recovers and traps Magneton with a virtual lock.

### **Battle Frontier**

Magneton appeared alongside the rest of Robyn's team when he was checking to make sure they all survived the petrification caused by Sird. It later battled alongside the other Pokédex holders's Pokémon against Guile Hideout's stolen Pokémon from the Battle Tower.

## **New Era**

### **Indigo Challenge**

When Dwayne challenged the Viridian Gym, Robyn selected Magneton as his first Pokémon to battle against Dwayne's Pidgeot. With that, the referee begins the battle, and Dwayne has Pidgeot use Air Slash kick off the battle. Robyn isn't bothered and has Magneton counter with Sonic Boom, which blows away the Air Slash and follows up with Thunderbolt, causing severe damage to Pidgeot. However, Pidgeot stands his ground and uses Gust, but Magneton counter-attacks with Magnet Bomb and strikes Pidgeot for massive damage. Magneton then uses Electro Ball and Pidgeot dodges with Quick Attack. Magneton then uses Sonic Boom, which Pidgeot attempts to defend against with Aerial Ace, but Magneton breaks through and knocks Pidgeot out.

Dwayne sends out Clefairy next to counter Magneton, starting off with Hyper Voice which does considerable damage. Magneton then proceeds to use Magnet Bomb, but a cleverly executed Hyper Voice towards the ground allows her to bounce up and dodge before striking a direct Moonblast for considerable damage. Clefairy then uses Dazzling Gleam, but Magneton dodges and follows up with Thunderbolt. The smoke clears and it appears that Clefairy has been paralyzed. Magneton then uses Magnet Bomb to ramp up Clefairy's damage. Dwayne considers withdrawing Clefairy, but she lands and stands her ground confidently. Dwayne is pleased and calls for Dazzing Gleam. Clefairy clashes with Electro Ball and is knocked back. Clefairy tries once more, but this clash renders her unable to battle. With that knockout, Dwayne is left with four Pokémon.

Dwayne brings out his third Pokémon, Butterfree. Dwayne feels confident about his choice and has Koffing use Sleep Powder. The attack hits and has a direct effect on Magneton: putting him to sleep. Robyn tries to wake up Magneton, but to avail, and Butterfree uses a barrage of Gusts that knocks Magneton out at last.

### **Sinnoh**

At some point during Robyn's time living in Sinnoh, Magneton evolved into Magnezone. Robyn used Magnezone to save Dwayne and a group of Shieldon from Cage's henchmen, attacking them with Steel Beam. Magnezone picks up Shieldon and runs away along with Robyn and Dwayne. Elsewhere, Cage commands his henchmen to capture the Shieldon. Robyn and Dwayne arrive at a place where the Shieldon live. Robyn talks about a project meant to make the place a Pokémon preserve. He then gets his laptop out of his backpack and contacts Professor Rowan, telling him about the Pokémon hunters. The Professor then points out to him a location where they will meet up. Dwayne offers to help and Robyn agrees, thanking him.

Elsewhere, a vehicle appears, and Magnezone picks the Shieldon up and rushes off with them into the forest. Robyn sends out Charizard, which uses Dynamic Punch on the vehicle, stopping it. The same henchman comes out and sends out Golbat, which uses Air Cutter, but Charizard dodges it and hits a tree with Hurricane, causing a swarm of angry Beedrill to come out. Robyn recalls Charizard, and the Beedrill head for the henchmen. Then, Dwayne and Robyn escape. Later, Cage talks with a client about the Shieldon. Then he gives instructions to his henchmen. Dwayne and Robyn hide from the henchmen and plan to head for a new route. They traverse a steep mountain trail by walking along the wall, when one of the Shieldon panics and almost falls down dragging the others with it before Dwayne quickly grabs them by their rope. With Robyn's help, they manage to pull the Shieldon back up.

Then, Cage is seen flying down to his henchmen on his Salamence. From the base, one of his henchmen informs him through his headset that Professor Rowan's vehicle has been spotted. Dwayne and Robyn ride with Officer Jenny on her car while Rowan informs Robyn of their upcoming arrival. Cage shows up with his Salamence. He attempts to use his capture device, but Robyn's Magnezone stops him with Thunder. Cage responds by sending out Drapion, which uses Cross Poison on Robyn. However, Magnezone gets in front of Robyn and takes the hit due to its immunity to Poison-type attacks, but Cage's Salamence swoops in and attacks with Hyper Beam. One of the Shieldon that attempted to escape slips and falls, leaving it exposed to Cage, who uses his capture device on it, while the other Shieldon successfully manage to run away. After witnessing this, Robyn orders Magnezone to use Sonic Boom, but Drapion blocks it. Then, Cage orders Drapion to use Pin Missile and Salamence to use Hyper Beam. Dwayne and Robyn respond by ordering Robyn's Charizard and Magnezone to use Flamethrower and Thunderbolt, respectively, but Cage's Pokémon's attacks overwhelm theirs.

## **Personality and Characteristics**

After being purchased by Robyn, Magnezone was disobedient, running away from Robyn and refusing to follow his commands. However, after Robyn and Edge's temporary trade, it became more affectionate towards Robyn and followed his orders from then on. With the ability to travel through cyberspace, Magnezone has been in use mainly via Robyn's Pokédex as a surprise attack to his enemies.
