Magneton (#082) has 44 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 34 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Magneton 9/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Magneton, while this one is Dark Magneton. Both list 60 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Miki Tanaka illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 41 other cards of Magneton list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Miki Tanaka. I count 192 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Rocket set binder is where a full Team Rocket set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Magneton can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Team Rocket cards. I still need this card.
