What to know
- Magnemite only appears after completing all bundles in the Withered Wastelands story area.
- You must build the Factory Storage habitat to permanently attract Magnemite.
- Habitat materials include a Control Unit, Jumbled Cords, Metal Drum, and Streetlight.
- Catching Magnemite unlocks the Magnet Rise ability, which allows hovering movement.
Magnemite is one of the more unique Pokémon you can obtain in Pokémon Pokopia, and unlocking it requires a mix of story progression, exploration, and crafting. Unlike some Pokémon that appear naturally during exploration, Magnemite only begins appearing after you reach a certain point in the game’s progression. Once that condition is met, you must gather several mechanical components and construct a specialized habitat that resembles a small industrial storage setup. When the habitat is assembled correctly, Magnemite will spawn and can be obtained, granting you access to the Magnet Rise ability.

Where to find Magnemite materials in Pokopia
Before you can build Magnemite’s habitat, you must explore several regions to gather the required components. The most important location for these materials is Sparkling Skylands, a zone filled with machinery fragments and technological debris scattered around the floating islands.
Control Units and Jumbled Cords appear throughout this region and are usually found near clusters of mechanical objects or near abandoned equipment. Metal Drums can also be found nearby, typically placed close to the same machinery structures where Control Units appear. Streetlights are far easier to find because they can spawn in multiple regions across Pokopia, meaning you can gather one during normal exploration if you keep an eye out.
Once you collect all four materials, you must return to the location where Magnemite originally appeared to construct its habitat.
Factory storage habitat explained
| Habitat Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Streetlight | Adds electrical infrastructure to attract Electric-type Pokémon |
| Metal Drum | Represents industrial storage elements |
| Control Unit | Serves as the main technological component |
| Jumbled Cords | Simulates exposed wiring that attracts Magnemite |
The Factory Storage habitat is designed to resemble a small industrial power setup. Magnemite is naturally drawn to environments with exposed electricity and machinery, which is why the habitat requires these specific components.
When all items are assembled in the correct location, the habitat becomes active and Magnemite will start appearing around it.
How to unlock Magnemite in Pokémon Pokopia
Step 1
Progress through the main story until you reach the Withered Wastelands region. This desert-like area introduces several bundle missions that must be completed before new Pokémon begin appearing in nearby regions.
Step 2
Complete every bundle available in the Withered Wastelands. Magnemite will not appear until all of these objectives are finished, making this the most important prerequisite in the process.
Step 3
After finishing the bundles, explore the surrounding areas until you encounter the location where Magnemite can appear. This spot will become the construction point for its habitat.
Step 4
Travel to Sparkling Skylands and search for technological debris scattered throughout the floating islands. Here you will collect the Control Unit and Jumbled Cords, which are the rarest components required for the habitat.
Step 5
Continue exploring the same area to locate a Metal Drum, which typically appears near mechanical objects or near the Control Units you previously collected.
Step 6
Find a Streetlight, which can appear in several areas across Pokopia. Because it is not limited to a single zone, it is often the easiest item to obtain.
Step 7
Return to the location where Magnemite appeared earlier and begin assembling the Factory Storage habitat using all the collected materials.
Step 8
Once the habitat is constructed, Magnemite will spawn around the structure, allowing you to obtain it and unlock its special ability.
Magnet Rise ability and how it works
| Ability | Effect |
|---|---|
| Magnet Rise | Allows you to hover in the air and control vertical movement |
After obtaining Magnemite, you gain access to the Magnet Rise ability, which introduces a new movement mechanic. This ability allows your character to hover slightly above the ground while traveling through the environment.
While hovering, you can control your vertical position using directional inputs. This mechanic makes it easier to navigate certain terrain, avoid hazards, and reach elevated platforms that were previously inaccessible.
Magnet Rise becomes particularly useful in areas with vertical puzzles or narrow paths, making Magnemite not only a collectible Pokémon but also an important exploration upgrade.
