Overview
Magnemite is an Electric/Steel-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Magnet Pokemon (Dex #027). Unlike most other Pokemon in the game, Magnemite is exclusively available in the post-game after completing the main story. It teaches Ditto the Magnet Rise transformation, widely considered the most powerful building tool in the game, and carries the Generate specialty for powering machines.
Habitat
Magnemite lives in the Factory Storage habitat. The habitat requires four specific items:
Item | Quantity | Where to Find |
|---|---|---|
Jumbled Cords | 1 | Found at the quest start location where the tower once stood |
Control Unit | 1 | Located in Sparkling Skylands' northeast island among ruined buildings |
Metal Drum | 1 | Found near the starting area in Withered Wasteland |
Streetlight (any type) | 1 | Can be crafted at a workbench or found in exploration |
The Factory Storage habitat can be placed anywhere in Withered Wasteland once all materials are gathered.
Location and Post-Game Unlock
Magnemite only becomes available after the credits roll. When you reload your save after finishing the main story, Ditto returns to the location where the mysterious tower stood earlier in the game. A Magnemite can now be found in a hole beneath the former tower location. It requests you build a Factory Storage habitat before it will teach you Magnet Rise.
How to Befriend
Complete the main story and watch the credits.
Reload your save and return to the location of the former mysterious tower.
Find Magnemite in the hole beneath where the tower used to stand.
Gather the four Factory Storage habitat materials from across the game world.
Build the Factory Storage habitat and invite Magnemite.
Speak to Magnemite to learn the Magnet Rise transformation.
Move Taught: Magnet Rise
Magnemite teaches Ditto the Magnet Rise transformation. This move transforms Ditto into Magnemite's form, granting free flight in all directions. While using Magnet Rise, you can hover anywhere and place blocks, furniture, and decorations with far greater precision than on the ground. You can also absorb materials that are inaccessible in normal form.
Magnet Rise has been described as a hidden "god mode" for building. It removes the constraints of gravity and ground-level placement, making large-scale construction projects dramatically faster and easier.
Specialty: Generate
Magnemite has the Generate specialty. Pokemon with this specialty will power nearby machines during their free time. Place Magnemite near unpowered devices, lights, or mechanical objects, and it will supply electricity to keep them running. Generate is also required as a cooking prerequisite for the Electrifying Soup recipe.

Tips
Magnet Rise is the single best tool for building in the post-game. Unlock it as soon as possible after completing the story.
The Control Unit in Sparkling Skylands is the hardest material to find. Look for it among the ruined buildings on the northeast island.
Magnemite's Generate specialty pairs perfectly with powered items like streetlights, cooking stoves, and mechanical devices.
Decorate the Factory Storage habitat with electronics, metal items, and bright lighting to increase Magnemite's Comfort Level.
