Its strongest point is Sp. Atk — higher than 92% of species. On the other hand, HP — lower than 81% of species. This is not the final form yet — it evolves once more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. In defense it has 3 weaknesses, 11 resistances and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Watch out for the Ground type — damage from it is quadrupled.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk; weak point: HP.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Atk, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (120) is 60 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.
- Modest +SpA · −Atk The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
- Timid +Spe · −Atk Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up power.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Variant gallery
The gallery shows only the appearance variants that exist for this Pokémon. Every image shows the same character and differs in source — a Pokémon HOME render or a pixel sprite — and in coloring, regular or shiny.
TCG cards (29)
All Magneton cards →Magneton has 29 cards in 23 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →This species is genderless, so its only possible partner is Ditto.
The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
