Biology

Exposing it to a special magnetic field rearranged its cells, causing it to evolve. Its three units generate magnetism. A group actually tried to make it evolve again, but failed.

Sometimes if two of them meet, the magnetism they produce is so strong that they attract each other and then are unable to move. There have been mentions of UFO sightings, but it is usually just Magnezone flying by. As it flies, it seems to be receiving and transmitting strange radio signals for unknown reasons.

It uses its radar to monitor its territory, and intruders are quickly Hyper Beamed away.

I theorize that a special magnetic field influenced this Pokémon, changing its molecular structure and causing it to evolve. It emits strange radio waves toward space from its antenna.
Legends: Arceus
It’s thought that a special magnetic field changed the molecular structure of this Pokémon’s body, and that’s what caused the Pokémon’s evolution.
Shield
Some say that Magnezone receives signals from space via the antenna on its head and that it’s being controlled by some mysterious being.
Sword
There are still people who believe that this Pokémon came from outer space. It emanates a powerful magnetic field.
Ultra Moon
It uses radar to monitor its territory. Intruders are quickly disposed of with a hyper beam.
Ultra Sun
As it zooms through the sky, this Pokémon seems to be receiving signals of unknown origin, while transmitting signals of unknown purpose.
Moon
Three units generate magnetism. There have been many mistaken reports of UFO sightings when Magnezone flies through the night sky.
Sun
Sometimes the magnetism emitted by Magnezone is too strong, making them attract each other so they cannot move.
Black 2 · White 2 · X · Omega Ruby
Exposure to a special magnetic field changed MAGNETON’s molecular structure, turning it into MAGNEZONE.
