Magneton 19/144 · Skyridge

Magneton is Pokédex #082, generation 1 (Kanto). Magneton is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Magnemite. In this catalog that name is Magnemite (#081). The card lists Magnezone, Magnezone (#462) under evolves to.

Magneton sits at 19/144 in Skyridge, position 19 of 182. Before it is 18 Magcargo, and after it is 20 Magneton. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on May 12, 2003. The printed size is 144. This checklist is longer, at 182 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Attract Energy is listed as Poké-Power. When you play Magneton from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may move any number of basic Energy cards attached to your other Pokémon to Magneton. The attack Electric Blast lists 40 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless, Colorless. You may discard all Lightning Energy cards attached to Magneton when you use this attack. If you do, put damage counters equal to the amount of Energy cards removed in this way on any number of your opponent's Benched Pokémon in the way you like. (For example, if you discard 3 Lightning Energy cards, you can put 1 damage counter on 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and 2 on another.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

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 lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Magneton list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hajime Kusajima. I count 206 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Skyridge set binder is where a full Skyridge 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). I still need this card.
