Character info
The character
Magearna is a Steel/Fairy-type Pokemon known as the Artificial Pokemon, created roughly five hundred years ago by a scientist to store and share the feelings of Pokemon. It gained wider recognition as the mythical Pokemon featured in the film Pokemon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel. Magearna is noted for its soul-storing ability, housed within the orb on its chest called the Soul-Heart.
