What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), if Magneton is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, choose 2 of your opponent's Pokémon that have Energy cards attached to them. Choose 1 of the Energy cards attached to each of those Pokémon and switch them between the Pokémon. This power can't be used if Magneton is affected by a Special Condition.
This attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that are the same type (color) as the Defending Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Where it came from
Released in 2003 as part of the Aquapolis expansion, this Magneton card represents the final major set of the E-Card series in the English-speaking market. Developed by The Pokémon Company and Wizards of the Coast, the expansion was designed to utilize the Nintendo e-Reader peripheral, which allowed players to scan cards to unlock digital content, Pokédex entries, and mini-games. This era of the trading card game is noted for its distinctive frame design, which minimized the illustration space to accommodate scanning data at the base and left edge of the card.
The artwork for this particular Magneton was executed by Hajime Kusajima, a frequent contributor during the e-Card era known for a stylized, often ethereal aesthetic. By positioning Magneton against the complex, technical aesthetic of the Aquapolis frame, the design emphasizes the Pokémon's dual Electric and Steel typing. At the time of release, these holographic cards were prized by collectors for their limited pull rates and the sophisticated, high-contrast visual style that defined the brief, experimental period of the e-Reader integration.
