Magby Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Magby #52 is part of Expedition Base Set, the first main expansion in the Pokémon TCG e-Card Series, which gives this card a special place in the hobby as one of the earliest cards designed for e-Reader compatibility.
Card History
This card captures a very specific early-2000s mechanic: Magby is a Baby Pokémon, so while it is Active your opponent has to flip before attacking, and a tails ends their turn on the spot.
Artist
Expedition Magby was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most celebrated Pokémon TCG artists and the same illustrator behind some of the game’s most iconic early-era cards.
In-Game
Magby itself was introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver as the baby form of Magmar, and in those games it could only be obtained by breeding rather than by catching it in the wild.
Cultural Impact
Magby’s fiery identity is pure Johto flavor: its Pokédex entries describe it as a volcanic baby Pokémon with a body temperature over 1100 degrees, which makes this tiny 30 HP card feel far more dangerous than it looks.
