The magnetic duo, Magnemite and Magneton are not easily available in Pokemon Legends Arcesu, so our location guide will tell you exactly where and how to get them in the Hisui region. 

In Pokemon Legends Arceus, players have a huge incentive to complete the Pokedex more than any other title in the series. The game offers a chance to battle the mythical cover Pokemon and catch it. This makes catching ’em all much more desirable.

However, there are certain Pokemon that are highly elusive. One such Pokemon is Magnemite and its evolution Magneton. This Electric/Steel dual-type is only available during an in-game event and we will tell you how to get it.

Magnemite in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Where to find Magnemite in Pokemon Legends Arceus

The only location to find a Magnemite in Pokemon Legends Arceus is at the Space-Time Distortions regions in the Cobalt Coastlands, which is the third wild area you’ll unlock as you progress through the main story.

Don’t waste time scouting the area under normal circumstances, since Magnemite only appears during this event which are the mysterious purple rifts that contain high-level Pokemon and rare items like Shards.

Space-Time Distortions will be marked on the map when they appear, and you’ll also be given a warning when one is forming. It’s best to make your way to the Space-Time Distortion as soon as it appears, as they won’t last forever!

Space-Time Distortions appear as gigantic purple domes.

You can speed up the process of forming a Space-Time Distortion by catching lots of wild Pokemon. A good way to do this is to wait until a Mass Outbreak occurs in the area, as that will give you loads of catching opportunities.

The chances of Magnemite spawning inside Space-Time Distortions at Cobalt Coastlands are very high, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding one – and they’re also pretty easy to catch.

How to evolve Magnemite into Magneton

Once you’ve got a Magnemite, you’ll need to train it to Level 30 in order to evolve it into Magneton. If you caught a Magnemite in a Space-Time Distortion, it will probably be leveled up enough to evolve straight away.

It’s worth pointing out that Magnemite’s evolved form Magneton can also sometimes spawn inside Space-Time Distortions at Cobalt Coastlands, although it’s nowhere near as common as Magnemite.

How to evolve Magneton into Magnezone

If you want to evolve your Magneton into its final evolution, Magnezone, you’ll need to take it to Coronet Highlands and level it up by one level in battle. The option to evolve will then become available.

You can also go down the traditional route of giving Magneton a Thunder Stone if you prefer, although you’ll need to find one first. Regardless of which method you use, there’s no minimum level required.

On a side note, you can spot Magnezone flying around the sky at Coronet Highlands, although this isn’t a very common sighting and you’ll need a Jet Ball to be able to catch it from such a distance.
