Lore

Why it matters

Part of the Sun & Moon: Ultra Prism set, this Magneton card showcases the distinct mechanical design that has defined the Pokémon since its debut in the original 151. While common in its rarity, it remains a staple for players and collectors interested in the transition of Metal-type Pokémon during this era of the trading card game.

Provenance

Where it came from

Magneton 82/156 was released in the 2018 Ultra Prism expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked the introduction of Prism Star cards and focused on the Sinnoh region, drawing inspiration from the Pokémon Sun and Moon era mechanics. As an uncommon card, it serves as a functional piece for players rather than a high-value collector's chase card, representing the evolution of the iconic generation one Magnet Pokémon within a modern tactical framework.

The artwork for this particular card was produced by Kouki Saitou, a long-time illustrator for the franchise known for his clean, digital style. Saitou's design captures Magneton in a dynamic, hovering pose, emphasizing its metallic texture and the gravitational energy often associated with the character. The card was received by the community as a standard staple for Metal-type decks, valued for its straightforward utility and the consistent, high-quality aesthetic typical of Saitou's contributions to the game.
