Description
As a Stage 1 Lightning-type Pokémon, this card represents the evolution of Magnemite and features a rarity level of Rare, illustrated by artist Miki Tanaka. Collectors often seek out cards from this set due to its distinct design language and historical importance in the franchise's history.

This card is a favorite among collectors looking to complete sets or those who appreciate the tactical nuances of early TCG mechanics. Its enduring appeal lies in its combination of nostalgic value and functional gameplay, making it a staple for any serious Pokémon card collection.
