07Why Collectors Want It

Early-2000s Neo Discovery printing with vintage collector appeal.
First stage of the Magnemite → Magneton → Magnezone line.
Required for any complete Magnemite master set across eras.
Collectors of the Neo Discovery set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Magnemite with 40 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Lock-on Cost: Colorless

During your next turn, treat any tails flipped when using Magnemite's Electric Bolt attack as if they were heads. (Benching or evolving either Pokémon ends this effect.)

Electric Bolt Cost: Lightning + Colorless · 50 damage

Flip 2 coins. If both are heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. If either of them is tails, this attack does nothing (not even damage).

Weakness: Fire ×2
Resistance: Grass -30
Retreat cost: 1

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Magnemite PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
