"Most Magnemite are indeed part Electric-type, but in the irradiated world after Blood Moon Darkrai messed things up, 'blend typed" Pokemon are not uncommon. Technically speaking, Brontes - adopted from the local Daycare - is actually Electric/Electric/Steel-type, and displays an affinity with electricity not found even in the average Magnezone. With his jagged magnets that levitate at his sides and his floating screw head, Brontes is the kind of Pokemon not to be messed with in a fight - which he will happily do is he or his friends are so much as looked at the wrong way. He usually does regret his rash actions, however, and is still a valuable member of the ranch."

Brontes is named after the legendary cyclopes of Greek myth that smithed Zeus's thunderbolts! Also, genderless Pokemon do not exist in the group (other than Ditto), so Brontes is male.
