Where would you find a magnemite?

[Magifart]

Will they honestly be at near power plants and industrials?

I find them randomly in town. I think they're a bit rare, but you can find them anywhere.

I've found a few in grassy/field locations, whenever I go to the field near my house there is always an influx of Magnemite nearby. That and Voltorb!

scratch that, see this

I don't think electric Pokemon are actually by power plants. I actually leave fairly close to one and I've never seen them around there, but I've seen common Pokémon like Pidgey appear. I think the game treats them as field Pokémon from what I can tell.

They're around, just a bit harder to find in some places, for sure.

Theoretically, you can find anything anywhere, the regions/locations just offer a higher chance of catching that particular type.

I live in a very wooded area probably 20 minutes from downtown. Have only played GO downtown once so far and found a Voltorb.

That's consistent with what I've heard that Steel, Electric, etc, are most likely found in urban centers.

I hatched one, i believe it was a 5k egg

You can find any pokemon anywhere except legendaries. Water pokemon will be much more common near water but I've found goldeens and magikarps in the middle of a field quite a few times. Magnemites for me are more common in a down town area but have seen others catch them in pure residential.

Funnily enough, the only place I found a few was in the energy corridor in Houston, TX (which I thought made sense, as a lot of electrical and tech companies are based there).

 

[jjmmww1]

there all I catch around me have so many and about 150 candys for them

Could you describe the terrain in your surrounding area?

I caught three Magnemites last night in a park that was between a highschool baseball stadium and a river. Not completely sure, but I think it was the stadium that drew them in, I've spent hours hunting in parks and near bodies of water and have never seen them before last night.

Scratch what I said before. I went further past the field near my house and to the beach where I found pleeeenty of Magnemite, friends also say they're almost always around rivers/beaches too, not just fields.

 

[Lycanthropy]

I found a Magnemite on a train station yesterday, so you're certainly able to meed them in the middle of city as well. So that's on all sorts of terrain from what I read above.
