Magearna (Japanese: マギアナ Magearna) is a dual-type Steel/Fairy Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Magearna has a second form colored gold and red, known as Original Color Magearna that, while present in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, was not made available until the release of Generation VIII's Pokémon HOME.
It was leaked in the March issue of CoroCoro released on February 10, 2016, and it was officially revealed on February 14, 2016, making it the first Generation VII Pokémon to be revealed to the public.
Biology
Magearna's reference sheet for
Pokémon Sun and Moon, illustrating its hidden cannon, exposed Soul-Heart, lower body, and sphere form.
Magearna is a metallic, bipedal, and artificial Pokémon that is made up primarily of spheres. Its head is a medium-sized sphere with a slight point in the back. Around Magearna's head is a gear with seven teeth, although the gear does not cover its chin. It has two large, rabbit-like ears with gold rims; a tiny nose and mouth; and light red eyes with pinkish ovals in the center. In the centers of the ovals are white crosses, and thin gold wiring encircles each eye with two small prongs similar to eyelashes. The rabbit-like ears appear to be two halves of a large disc held together by a hinge at the top.
Magearna's upper body is similar to a Poké Ball: it is divided into two light blue portions by a thick gray band. In the front center of the band is a circular depression that is half-blue and half-pink. Above and below the depression, in the light blue portions, is a yellow, diamond-shaped marking. On either side of its upper body is a large, spherical shoulder with thin upper arms that lead to large, claw-shaped forearms and slightly pointed hands. Its lower body is a much larger sphere that resembles a ball gown. There is a pair of golden, wavy lines on each side of this sphere, which is divided down the front and back by a gray line. In the back, there is a solid gold ring with a hole in the center at the bottom of this line. The front has a gold ring as well, but it is broken at the top and bottom and has a shield shape in the center. Metal plates similar to the ruffles of a dress adorn the bottom of its lower body. It has two pointed legs.
Magearna was created by a scientist 500 years ago. The sphere in this Pokémon's chest is known as the Soul-Heart, and the scientist created it by collecting life energy from Pokémon. The Soul-Heart is the true body of Magearna. Due to its ability to feel other's pain, it will try as hard as it can to save injured Pokémon. It can even perceive the emotions, thoughts, or feelings of other Pokémon as well. Whenever it is sleeping or sometimes when it is sad, Magearna can take on the appearance of a Poké Ball.[1]
Back when it was invented, Magearna's body was primarily painted gold, though a lighter shade than the highlights and rims that adorn its body. The ears and the top half of its lower body were painted red, matching the coloration of an ordinary Poké Ball. This vivid coloring is a sign that it was a present to royalty. The princess of the land was very pleased with it.
Magearna is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Fleur Cannon. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Soul-Heart as an Ability.

Form data
Magearna has a separate form called Original Color Magearna. The two forms are non-interchangeable, and the difference between them is purely aesthetic: the Original Color form is red and gold instead of silver.
Prior to the launch of Pokémon HOME, Original Color Magearna was not able to be legitimately obtained, and it only appeared in an official capacity in Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel. In Pokémon HOME, if a player completes the National Pokédex (up to Eternatus, including Mythical Pokémon), they will receive a Mystery Gift containing an Original Color Magearna.

Trivia
- The concept of Magearna came from Masafumi Nukita, which also involved writing their Pokédex entries.[2]
- This is not to be confused with the designer of Magearna, who is currently unknown.
- In Generation VII, Magearna was the only Pokémon that was both able to learn new moves by TM yet was unable to learn Toxic or Sleep Talk.
- Magearna is the first Mythical Pokémon to be made available in the core series through an indefinitely active event.
- Shiny Magearna is the only unobtainable Shiny Pokémon that has exclusively appeared in the anime.
- Until Generation VIII, Magearna's Shiny color scheme was identical to the regular one, as a Shiny Magearna was unobtainable. Though it is still unobtainable, Pokémon HOME and Pokémon Sword and Shield Version 1.2.0 includes data for Magearna's Shiny palette.
Origin
Magearna is likely based on a karakuri puppet and a rabbit. It also may be inspired by a nursemaid, a young woman that would care and look after children within the community of a large household, having historically worked in medieval castles. The gear around Magearna's head also resembles a maid's headdress as well as its central body looking similar to the common wear for a maid, such as its arms looking like long, puffed sleeves and the black divide near the end of its "gown" bearing resemblance to the end of an apron. The rabbit ears and the yellow crescents on its body may refer to the moon rabbit legend. Magearna may also be inspired by Mahina, the Hawaiian goddess of the moon, due to her name resembling 'machine' or 'machina,' and Magearna's color and lower body shape.
Name origin
Magearna may be a combination of machina (Latin for machine), mana, and gear.
