So… Hypothetically… If I get a magnezone and it magnetizes my wheelchair to the top of its head, I could theoretically make a hover craft?

Well … I’d imagine this would be a rather tricky question to answer. Technically speaking, it’s true that magnezone are perhaps just wide enough, but their shape would make it difficult. For starters, there is the antenna, and contrary to what one might think, this antenna can’t really bend. So to begin with, you’ll need to work around that—perhaps by, instead of situating your wheelchair at the very top of its head, balancing it on your magnezone’s magnets. Then of course, there should be some consideration both for the weight of the wheelchair itself and the electrical equipment therein if you’re using a motorized wheelchair. You could very well render it inoperable after such a ride, but perhaps that would be a moot point. Third and finally, you’ll also likely need to take into consideration the fact that your magnezone won’t be battle-ready so long as it’s focusing on magnetizing your wheelchair—and for some time thereafter, for that matter. For this to effectively work, you would need your magnezone to periodically if not constantly charge your wheelchair, which would deplete its electrical reserves and wear it out. Likewise, it probably shouldn’t use its electrical abilities while supporting you for obvious, electrocution-related reasons. However, if you keep it calm and give it a moment before using it in battle, perhaps that won’t be so bad.

So in short … with some adjustments to your plan and some side considerations, very likely!

Best of luck, anonymous!
