How to evolve Magnemite into Magneton?

If you want to evolve Magnemite into Magneton, you’ll need to collect 25 Candies and feed them to the Pocket Monster. This is how the critter evolves in the game.

Shiny Magnemite also evolves similarly, so make sure you gather enough evolution consumables to evolve both variants.

How to evolve Magneton into Magnezone?

You will have to attach a Glacial Lure Module to a PokeStop first and then feed Magneton 100 Pokemon Candies to evolve it into Magnezone. The latter is a powerful entity of the Magnemite family.

Magnemite's spawn rate is boosted during the Spotlight Hour event in Pokemon GO. You can take advantage of this event to farm Candies by catching every single spawn to trigger the evolution process. Lure Module and Incense are in-game items that can boost the spawn rate of Pokemon appearing in a specific weather condition.

That said, the spawn rate of Magnemite can be boosted by turning on the effects of the Lure Module and Incense. It is worth noting that the creature's spawn rate can be increased further when you partake in this event during Rainy and Snowy weather.
