CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Magearna was built by a scientist around five hundred years ago. Its mechanical body houses the Soul-Heart, an organ the Pokédex presents as its true essence. It understands speech without being able to speak itself. By synchronizing with another, it accesses their consciousness and can better care for that person. Its story thus raises the question of an artificial creature whose attentive gestures come from a constructed heart.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Moon distinguishes Magearna's mechanical body from the Soul-Heart it houses. Pokémon Ultra Sun explains that synchronizing with another consciousness helps it provide care. Its ability to understand without speaking contrasts with this mental closeness.
