Provenance

Where it came from

Magneton 53/162 was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game: BREAKthrough expansion in November 2015. This set introduced the BREAK Evolution mechanic to the international TCG, featuring a unique horizontal card orientation that allowed players to layer new cards onto existing ones to increase their stats and abilities. The set was designed to integrate elements from the Japanese XY-BREAK expansion series, focusing on a futuristic, energetic aesthetic to match the game's evolving mechanics.

The card features artwork by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran artist in the Pokémon franchise known for his consistent and detailed style since the game's inception in 1996. Arita chose to depict Magneton in a dynamic, high-energy environment that emphasizes its electric typing and industrial design. Upon its release, the card was received as a standard uncommon utility card, valued primarily for its functional role in competitive decks of that era rather than as a centerpiece for collectors.
