Where it came from
The Magneton card from the EX Dragon expansion was released in 2003 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, marking a period where the series moved under the stewardship of The Pokémon Company International following the transition from Wizards of the Coast. This set introduced the EX mechanic, emphasizing powerful evolved Pokémon with higher hit points and unique abilities, reflecting a shift toward more dynamic and high-stakes competitive play during the third generation of the franchise.
The card features artwork by Midori Harada, a prolific illustrator whose style became synonymous with the aesthetic of the early 2000s era of the card game. Harada opted for a sleek, digital rendering that emphasizes the metallic, multi-faceted design of the Magneton creature, contrasting it against a stylized background to highlight its electric typing. As a rare card within the set, it was sought after by collectors for its distinct holographic pattern and its role in the tactical landscape of the period.
