11Overview22Magnet Rise is the fourteenth and final Ditto transformation move in Pokemon Pokopia. It transforms Ditto into Magnemite, granting free vertical flight and advanced building capabilities. Magnet Rise is exclusively a post-game unlock, available only after completing the main story and the Team Initiation Challenge.44How to Unlock66Complete all 8 stages of the Team Initiation Challenge across all four story regions.Watch the credits roll. When you return to the game, the mysterious tower is gone.A hole has opened in the ground where the tower stood. Drop down to find Magnemite.Magnemite will request a Factory Storage Habitat. Build it using the following items:88ItemQuantityStreetlight1Metal Drum1Jumbled Cord1Control Unit11111Once Magnemite moves into the habitat, it will teach you Magnet Rise.1212Controls1414Magnet Rise has a unique control scheme compared to every other move in the game. It functions as a dedicated build mode:1616ButtonActionR or BFloat upwardLFloat downwardLeft StickMove horizontally in any directionYZap (break blocks instantly, including Black Rocks)Hold YGrab terrain blocks without destroying themASpit out / place items from inventoryD-Pad UpAdjust item placement quantityRight Stick ClickToggle between Spit Out and Replace modes1818Capabilities1919Magnet Rise is far more than a flight move. It provides a comprehensive building toolkit:2121CapabilityDetailsFree FlightMove in any direction with full omnidirectional control. No PP drain while hovering.Instant Block BreakingThe Zap action (Y) destroys terrain blocks instantly, including Black Rocks that cannot be broken by Rock Smash or Rollout.Auto-CollectionMaterials drop directly into your inventory without needing to pick them up manually.Large-Scale PlacementPlace blocks in 3x3x1 scale measurements, making construction much faster than placing one block at a time.Object MovingPick up large boulders, trees, and other objects without destroying them, then relocate them anywhere.2323Spit Out and Replace Modes2424Magnet Rise offers two distinct placement modes that can be toggled by clicking the Right Stick. Understanding when to use each mode is key to efficient construction.2626Spit Out Mode2828Spit Out is the default placement mode. When active, pressing A deploys blocks or items from your inventory into the world. Terrain blocks are placed at a 3x3x1 scale, meaning each press lays down a slab of nine blocks at once. This makes building walls, floors, and large terrain features drastically faster than placing blocks individually. You can rotate the placement orientation between horizontal and vertical using the D-Pad, which lets you build upward columns or flat platforms with equal ease.3030Use D-Pad Up to adjust how many items you spit out per press. For furniture and crafted objects, items are placed one at a time rather than in a 3x3 grid.3232Replace Mode3434Replace Mode swaps the block you are targeting with the block currently selected in your inventory, all at the same 3x3x1 scale. This is extremely useful for renovating buildings or changing terrain types without the two-step process of breaking first and then placing. For example, you can convert a dirt path into a stone road in a single pass, or swap out wooden walls for brick without tearing down the structure.3636Toggle between Spit Out and Replace by clicking the Right Stick. The current mode is shown on the HUD near the bottom of the screen.3838Zap and Grab Mechanics4040The Y button serves double duty depending on whether it is tapped or held.4242Zap (Tap Y)4444Tapping Y fires a Zap that instantly destroys the targeted block. All materials that would normally drop are sent straight into your inventory without falling on the ground. Zap is powerful enough to break Black Rocks, which ordinarily require a fully powered-up Rock Smash to destroy. Because Zap is instant and costs less PP than Rock Smash or Cut, it is the most efficient way to clear terrain in the game.4646When used on a complete object such as furniture or a placed decoration, Zap collects the entire item intact and places it in your bag rather than breaking it into raw materials.4848Grab (Hold Y)5050Holding Y lets you grab terrain blocks, boulders, trees, and other large objects without destroying them. The grabbed object can then be relocated anywhere by flying to the desired spot and releasing it. This is the only way to reposition large environmental objects like mature trees and massive boulders while keeping them whole.5252Grab also lets you collect certain items that are otherwise unobtainable. Stone debris, broken streetlights, ruined furniture fragments, and various plant stages (seedlings, wilted plants) can only be picked up through the Grab mechanic. Serebii's item database lists over 100 items exclusive to Magnet Rise collection.5454PP Usage5656Like all Ditto transformations, Magnet Rise drains PP while active. However, simply hovering in place costs no PP. PP is consumed when you perform actions: Zapping blocks, spitting out items, or grabbing objects. On a per-action basis, Magnet Rise uses less PP than Rock Smash or Cut for the same block-breaking result, making it the most PP-efficient demolition tool.5858For extended building sessions, stock up on PP-restoring items beforehand. Leppa Salad and Carrots are effective choices. You can also place a cooking station near your build site so you can craft food without leaving the area.6060Comparison to Other Transformations6262Magnet Rise shares some capabilities with earlier transformations but surpasses each of them in scope. The table below highlights the key differences.6464FeatureMagnet RiseOther TransformationBlock BreakingInstant Zap; breaks any block including Black RocksRock Smash: slow, multi-hit; cannot break Black Rocks without power-upBlock Placement3x3x1 slab; vertical and horizontal rotationStandard: one block at a time from ground levelBlock ReplacementReplace Mode swaps blocks in 3x3x1 areasNot available on any other transformationMovementFree omnidirectional flightJump: single vertical hop; Glide: horizontal only; Surf: water onlyObject RelocationGrab and move trees, boulders, debris intactStrength: push only, cannot lift or fly with objectsMaterial CollectionAuto-collected into inventory on ZapManual pickup required after breakingPP EfficiencyLower PP cost per block destroyedRock Smash and Cut use more PP per block6666Because of these advantages, many players recommend saving large construction projects until after unlocking Magnet Rise in the post-game. Building Palette Town structures for Legendary Pokemon and complex Eeveelution habitats, in particular, benefit enormously from Magnet Rise's speed and flexibility.6767Building Strategies6969Magnet Rise is the backbone of advanced building in Pokopia. Below are practical strategies for getting the most out of it.7171MaterialDetailsLevel ground before buildingFly to a bird's-eye view of your build area and use Zap to flatten uneven terrain. The 3x3x1 Spit Out mode can then lay down a uniform foundation quickly. See How to Level Ground for step-by-step instructions.Use Replace Mode for renovationsIf you want to change the material of an existing wall or floor, switch to Replace Mode instead of tearing it down and rebuilding. This preserves the structure's shape while updating its appearance.Rotate placement for vertical buildsWhen constructing towers or multi-story buildings, rotate your slab orientation to vertical using the D-Pad. This lets you build upward in 3-block increments rather than stacking single blocks.Collect materials in bulkBefore starting a big project, fly over resource-rich areas and Zap blocks rapidly. Materials auto-collect into your inventory, so you can stockpile hundreds of blocks in minutes without stopping to pick anything up.Relocate trees and boulders for landscapingUse Hold Y (Grab) to pick up large environmental objects and fly them to a new position. This is the only way to move mature trees without destroying them, making it essential for landscape design.Build roofs from aboveOne of the most frustrating tasks before Magnet Rise is placing roof blocks. With flight, you can hover directly above a building and place roof pieces looking straight down, which is far easier than trying to reach them from the ground.7373Factory Storage Habitat Details7474The Factory Storage Habitat is a special dwelling requested by Magnemite before it will teach you Magnet Rise. Unlike most habitats, the Factory Storage type only requires four specific items to construct:7676ItemQuantityWhere to FindStreetlight (any type)1Craft one, or use a Mushroom Lamp as a quick substituteMetal Drum1Found near the hole where Magnemite appearsJumbled Cord1Found near the hole where Magnemite appearsControl Unit1Located in the northeast island of Sparkling Skylands among ruined office buildings7878The Metal Drum and Jumbled Cord are both located at the quest site, so you only need to travel for the Streetlight and Control Unit. If you have already crafted a Mushroom Lamp or any streetlight variant during the story, that will work for the Streetlight requirement. The Control Unit is the trickiest item to find; fly to the northeast corner of Sparkling Skylands and search the ruined buildings there.7979Once all four items are placed, Magnemite moves in and teaches Magnet Rise immediately. The Factory Storage Habitat also counts toward your habitat total for Pokedex completion.8181Tips8383Magnet Rise is the recommended way to build large structures. The ability to fly while placing and absorbing blocks makes construction projects that previously took hours achievable in minutes.Use the Replace mode (Right Stick Click) to swap one block type for another without first removing the old block. This is perfect for renovating buildings.Magnet Rise works in every region, not just the post-game area. Go back to earlier towns and use it to finalize your designs.The official game tip suggests using the Default option for Run/Jump Controls when using Magnet Rise for the most intuitive hovering experience.
