Release information

This card was included as both a Holofoil amd Non Holofoil card in the Team Rocket expansion, first released in the Japanese Rocket Gang expansion as a Holofoil. Unusually for English cards given a Non Holofoil counterpart, the artwork on the card differs between the Holofoil and Non Holofoil prints. While the Holofoil print has a white background, the Non Holofoil print has a multicolored, warped background.

Trivia

  • Although this Pokémon is level 26, Magnemite does not evolve into Magneton until level 30.
  • This card's Pokédex entry erroneously refers to the plural of Magneton as Magnetons.

When the Team Rocket expansion came out, it was the 4th non-reprint set of the TCG. Magneton became one of the 3 Pokémon to be featured on 3 different cards (Base Set, Fossil and Team Rocket). The other two were Electrode and Raichu.

Origin

SonicBoom is a move in the Pokémon games that Magneton can learn.
