Description
Released in 2003 as part of the Skyridge expansion, this Magneton card (No. 20) captures the essence of the early Generation 3 era for Pokémon TCG collectors. As a Stage 1 Metal-type Pokémon, it evolves from Magnemite and stands out for its distinctive Reverse Holo finish, which adds visual depth to the card's presentation. The design, illustrated by Kouki Saitou, reflects the artistic style of the Skyridge set, making it a notable entry for those tracking the evolution of Pokémon card aesthetics during this period. Mechanically, Magneton offers strategic versatility in gameplay with 70 HP and two distinct attacks. The "Bounce Off" attack deals 20 damage, with a conditional effect that can disrupt opponents based on Energy card distribution. Meanwhile, the "Magnetic Wave" attack provides scalable damage, dealing 30 plus 10 damage for each Benched Pokémon advantage, highlighting the card's role in board control strategies. This duality makes it a functional piece for collectors who appreciate both the lore and the tactical depth of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. For investors and hobbyists, the Skyridge set holds a specific place in Pokémon card history, bridging the transition between earlier generations and the more complex mechanics introduced later. The Reverse Holo treatment, introduced during this era, has become a key identifier for collectors seeking variety in their sets. Magneton's Metal typing and its connection to the broader Electric/Steel type dynamics of the franchise add layers of interest for those studying type interactions and card evolution within the TCG. Whether building a comprehensive Skyridge collection or focusing on specific Pokémon lineages, this card represents a tangible piece of the franchise's rich history.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Attack: Bounce Off (20)
If Magneton and the Defending Pokémon don't have the same number of Energy cards attached to them, the player controlling the Active Pokémon with the fewest number of Energy cards attached to it switches 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon with his or her Active Pokémon.
Attack: Magnetic Wave (30+)
This attack does 30 damage plus 10 damage times the number of your Benched Pokémon minus the number of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (For example, if your opponent has 1 Benched Pokémon and you have 3, this attack will do 30 damage plus 20 more damage.)
