Provenance

Where it came from

The Magneton card from the XY—Evolutions expansion was released by The Pokémon Company International in late 2016. This set served as a nostalgic tribute to the original Base Set, featuring updated artwork and modern mechanics applied to classic Pokémon designs. As a holo-rare entry, this card reflects the aesthetic shift towards contemporary holographic foiling while retaining the familiar composition of the vintage era.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is known for his dynamic and clean approach to Pokémon character design. In this specific iteration, Saitou maintains a focus on the mechanical, multi-faceted nature of the Magneton creature, utilizing high-contrast lighting to complement the set's commemorative theme. It was received by the community as a bridge between long-term collectors of the 1999 original and newer players introduced through the XY series.
