It is classified as a Lightning-type Pokémon with 80 HP and a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy. The card features two attacks: Thundershock, which costs Lightning and Colorless energy to deal 20 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon, and Speed Shot, a powerful attack that costs three Colorless energy to deal 40 damage while ignoring weaknesses, resistances, and other defensive effects. Magneton has a resistance to Metal-type attacks, taking 30 less damage, but is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card is illustrated by artist Ken Sugimori and includes no additional abilities beyond its attacks and typing. Its design reflects the Pokémon's electrical attributes, with no further details on its evolution or behavioral traits. The card's simplicity in mechanics aligns with its role as a straightforward offensive option in gameplay.
