Collector Insights

Magneton is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It possesses two attacks: Ram, which uses one Lightning energy to deal 20 damage, and Zap Cannon, requiring two Lightning and one Colorless energy to strike for 80 damage, though it cannot be used during the player’s next turn. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type moves with double damage. It belongs to the Sun & Moon series, released in the Forbidden Light set on May 4, 2018. The artist for this card is kirisAki. The flavor text highlights Magneton’s electrical power, noting it surpasses Magnemite by threefold and correlates with sunspot activity. Its design aligns with the series’ thematic focus on solar phenomena and electrical energy.

It has about three times the electrical power of Magnemite. For some reason, outbreaks of this Pokémon happen when lots of sunspots appear.
