When a magnetic ion vibrates in a metal, it inevitably introduces a new channel of hybridization with conduction electrons and in general, the vibrating ion induces electric dipole moment. In such a situation, we find that magnetic and non-magnetic Kondo effects alternatively occur due to the screening of spin moment and electric dipole moment of vibrating ion. In particular, electric dipolar two-channel Kondo effect is found to occur for weak Coulomb interaction. We also show that magnetically robust heavy-electron state appears near the fixed point of electric dipolar two-channel Kondo effect. We believe that the {\it vibrating} magnetic ion opens a new door in the Kondo physics.
