Dark Magneton [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Magneton is part of the original Team Rocket expansion, the 2000 set that introduced Dark Pokémon to the English TCG and gave familiar Kanto species a more dangerous, villain-themed twist.
Set Lore
As card #11/82, Dark Magneton sits in the holo rare lineup of Team Rocket’s first-edition release, placing it among the chase holographics from one of the most beloved Wizards of the Coast-era sets.
Artist
This holo version was illustrated by Miki Tanaka, and Bulbapedia notes that its artwork is distinct from the non-holo Dark Magneton print, giving collectors two visually different versions of the same Team Rocket card.
In-Game
Its attack Sonicboom directly references the video game move Sonic Boom, which Magneton can learn in the main series games, tying the card’s battle text back to the franchise’s mechanics.
Card History
The card’s sinister Pokédex flavor about Magneton damaging computer systems feels especially on-brand because Magneton has repeatedly been shown in animation and Pokédex lore as a source of powerful magnetic and electrical disruption.
