Lt. Surge's Magneton, Gym Heroes #8

Magneton is Pokédex #082, generation 1 (Kanto). Lt. Surge's Magneton is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 70 HP. The card lists level 30. The card says it evolves from Lt. Surge's Magnemite. In this catalog that name is Magnemite (#081). The card lists Magnezone, Magnezone (#462) under evolves to.

Lt. Surge's Magneton sits at 8/132 in Gym Heroes, position 8 of 132. Before it is 7 Lt. Surge's Fearow, and after it is 9 Misty's Seadra. The set belongs to the Gym series. It was released on 14 August 2000. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Energy Charge is listed as Pokémon Power. As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), if Lt. Surge's Magneton is your Active Pokémon, you may take 1 Lightning Energy card attached to 1 of your Pokémon and attach it to Lt. Surge's Magneton. This power can't be used if Lt. Surge's Magneton is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Mega Shock lists 50 damage. The cost is Lightning, Lightning, Lightning, Colorless. Flip a coin. If tails, Lt. Surge's Magneton does 20 damage to itself. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

Magneton (#082) has 44 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 33 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 Lt. Surge's Magneton. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 34 other cards of Magneton list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Gym Heroes set binder is where a full Gym Heroes 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 Trainer's Pokémon, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, Lt. Surge and his Pokémon, and Magnemite, Magneton, and Magnezone. I still need this card.
