Magneton [1999-2000] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Magneton is one of the original English holo rares from the very first main Pokémon TCG expansion, giving it instant vintage prestige as card #9/102 in the set that launched the hobby for many collectors.
Artist
Its artwork was illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi, one of the defining early Pokémon TCG artists whose computer-rendered style helped give Wizards-era cards their unmistakable late-90s look.
In-Game
This card captures Magneton before later games reclassified the species as Electric/Steel, so Base Set collectors are holding a snapshot from the era when Magneton was still represented in the TCG as purely Lightning-type.
Card History
Magneton’s attack line is pure early-Pokémon TCG chaos: Thunder Wave brings classic coin-flip paralysis, while Selfdestruct hits every Bench and even blows Magneton up, a dramatic design that feels straight out of the game’s explosive first era.
Cultural Impact
The card’s flavor text comes straight from Magneton’s strange Gen I mystique, describing how several Magnemite link together and appear more often when sunspots flare up, which helped make it one of Kanto’s eeriest machine-like Pokémon.
