A hydrogen storing alloy containing only a few impurities leading to a short circuit where the yield can be maintained even when the alloy is subjected to magnetic separation treatment. A hydrogen storing alloy includes a matrix phase having an AB5 type crystal structure, the alloy having a misch metal (referred to as “Mm”) in an A-site in an ABx composition and having any one or at least one of Ni, Al, Mn, and Co in a B-site in the ABx composition, wherein the ratio (referred to as “ABx”) of the total number of moles of elements comprising the B site to the total number of moles of elements comprising the A site is 5.00<ABx≦5.40; the content of Co is more than 0.0 mol % and less than 0.7 mol %; and residual magnetization is more than 0 emu/g and 0.020 emu/g or less. |
