Magneton 17/97 · Dragon

Magneton, Dragon #17

Magneton is Pokédex #082, generation 1 (Kanto). Magneton is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 70 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 17/97 in Dragon, position 17 of 100. Before it is 16 Girafarig, and after it is 18 Ninjask. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on November 24, 2003. The printed size is 97. This checklist is longer, at 100 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Magnetic Field is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), if you have basic Energy cards in your discard pile, you may discard any 1 card from your hand. Then search for up to 2 basic Energy cards from your discard pile, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. You can't return the card you first discarded to your hand in this way. This power can't be used if Magneton is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Magnetic Force lists 10× damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Does 10 damage times the amount of Energy attached to all of your Pokémon (including Magneton). Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -30. 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 70 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Midori Harada illustrated this one. 34 other cards of Magneton list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Midori Harada. I count 352 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Dragon set binder is where a full Dragon 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.
