5 facts about this card
This holo Magby is one of Expedition Base Set’s early e-Card-era oddities: as a Baby Pokémon, it carries the classic Baby Rule that can make an opponent’s attack fail before it even begins.
Magby #17 comes from Expedition Base Set, the first main expansion of the Pokémon TCG’s e-Card Series, the line that added scannable Dot Codes for the Nintendo e-Reader.
What makes this holo especially memorable to collectors is that its e-Reader strip could unlock extra content, including Pokédex data and a Magby-and-Magmar animation when paired with the right card.
The artwork is by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most iconic illustrators in Pokémon TCG history, giving this tiny Fire-type a pedigree that instantly resonates with WotC-era collectors.
This card’s e-Reader Pokédex entry was taken from Pokémon Crystal, tying the holo directly back to Magby’s Generation II game-era identity as the 'Live Coal Pokémon.'
