♦ Recycle is a status move (restores the item your Magnemite last used). ♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Magnemite this turn). ♦ Explosion is a physical 250-base power Normal-type move (hits adjacent pokemon. your Magnemite faints). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target; Note: Poison types can't miss with Toxic).
