In battle[]
Magnet Pull causes Steel-type Pokémon to be unable to flee or switch out. It is essentially the Steel-type counterpart of Arena Trap; however, Arena Trap works on Pokémon of any type only if that Pokémon is not a Flying type or have the ability Levitate.
Outside of battle[]
If the Pokémon with this ability is in the lead spot of the player's party, Steel-type Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild.
