Magneton evolution

Pokémon GO has no evolution levels: a Pokémon evolves when you spend Candy on it (sometimes with an item or a task), at any level.

Magneton evolves from Magnemite for 25 Magnemite Candy.

Magneton evolves into Magnezone for 100 Magnemite Candy; you also need to evolve it near an active Magnetic Lure Module.
