Collector Insights
Lt. Surge's Magneton is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. It possesses the Energy Charge ability, allowing it to attach a Lightning Energy card from any of the player's Pokémon to itself during the player's turn, provided it is the Active Pokémon. The ability is conditional on the Pokémon not being Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. Its primary attack, Mega Shock, requires three Lightning and one Colorless Energy to deal 50 damage, with a 20-damage self-infliction chance on a coin flip. The card carries a Fighting-type weakness multiplied by two. It is part of the Gym series, released in the Gym Heroes set on August 14, 2000, and is numbered 8. The card's design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, with a thematic color scheme of light brown. This Rare Holo card emphasizes strategic energy management and risk-reward mechanics in gameplay.
