Magneton has been reprinted in Japan for three decades, but this guide only prices and pictures two of those printings — the two we could pin down to an exact card number and source citation today.
レアコイル (Magneton) is a Lightning-type Stage 1 Pokemon that evolves from Magnemite, and it’s been reprinted across Japanese sets since the mid-1990s. Japanese set numbering rarely mirrors the English side card-for-card, so rather than guess at older printings, this guide sticks to two prints we verified directly against source citations: a 2024 Art Rare from Super Electric Breaker and a 2023 Uncommon from Pokemon Card 151. One of them also happens to share its card number with Magneton’s own Pokedex entry — more on that below.
Two Japanese Magneton printings are verified for this guide: the Art Rare Magneton (SV8 112/106) from Super Electric Breaker, currently listed at ¥9,493 (~$59.70) in PSA 10, and the Uncommon Magneton (SV2a 082/165) from Pokemon Card 151, whose card number matches Magneton’s Kanto Pokedex entry, #82.
Prices are converted at ¥159/USD (September 2026). Only the store’s own graded listing carries a verified price in this guide — the second printing below is an identification reference, not a market valuation.
Every Verified Magneton Print in This Guide
Two Japanese Magneton printings are confirmed for this guide, listed by release date:
| 카드 | Set | Rarity | HP | Released |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magneton 082/165 | Pokemon Card 151 (SV2a) | Uncommon | 90 | 16 Jun 2023 |
| Magneton 112/106 AR | Super Electric Breaker (SV8) | Art Rare | 100 | 18 Oct 2024 |
Magneton has a long English print history running from the original Base Set through modern sets like Surging Sparks and Mega Evolution. On the Japanese side, though, set and card numbers don’t line up 1:1 with the English releases, so rather than transpose English data onto Japanese cards we don’t hold a confirmed source for, this guide covers only the two prints above. Both sections below go into the identifying details for each.
The Own-Stock Card: Magneton AR from Super Electric Breaker
Magneton (SV8 112/106) is a 100 HP Lightning-type Art Rare illustrated by Shinji Kanda, released as part of Super Electric Breaker (SV8) on 18 October 2024. Its ability, Overcharge Discharge, discards Magneton itself in exchange for attaching up to three basic Lightning Energy cards from the discard pile — a self-sacrificing ramp effect that fits the energy-acceleration decks Lightning-type players tend to build around.
This is also the store’s own graded stock: a PSA 10 copy is currently listed at ¥9,493 (~$59.70) at the ¥159/USD rate used throughout this guide. It’s the only Magneton print with a verified price in our system, so treat it as the anchor for the rest of this guide rather than a general market average.
The Dex-Numbered Print: Magneton in Pokemon Card 151
Magneton (SV2a 082/165) is a 90 HP Lightning-type Uncommon illustrated by Yuka Morii, released 16 June 2023 as part of Pokemon Card 151 — the set that reprinted the original 151 Kanto Pokemon with card numbers matching their National Pokedex entries. Magneton is Kanto Dex #82, and this card carries the number 082/165, which makes it one of the more collector-friendly ways to identify a copy at a glance.
Its ability, Junk Magnet, retrieves two Trainer cards from the discard pile back to hand — a recovery tool rather than an attacking or ramping effect, which puts it in a different role from the Super Electric Breaker Art Rare above despite sharing the same evolution line and HP-adjacent stat line.
We don’t hold a verified own-stock price for this printing, so treat the table and description here as identification references rather than a market valuation.
Two Abilities, Two Roles: Overcharge Discharge vs Junk Magnet
The two verified prints don’t just differ by set and rarity — their abilities point Magneton toward two different jobs on the field:
- Overcharge Discharge (SV8 112/106, Art Rare) — discards this Magneton to attach up to three basic Lightning Energy from the discard pile to your Pokemon. A one-time burst of energy acceleration that consumes the card as its cost.
- Junk Magnet (SV2a 082/165, Uncommon) — retrieves two Trainer cards from the discard pile to hand, without needing to discard Magneton itself. A recurring utility effect rather than a one-off burst.
Neither ability depends on Magneton’s attacks, which is typical for Stage 1 support Pokemon in modern Japanese sets — the card earns a deck slot through its ability text as much as through combat stats.
The Line Behind the Card: Magnemite to Magneton
Both verified prints are the Stage 1 form of the same evolution line: Magnemite evolves into Magneton, and in some game generations Magneton can further evolve into Magnezone. The cards covered in this guide are both the Magneton stage specifically — neither is a Magnemite pre-evolution card nor a Magnezone card, so if you’re trying to complete a full evolution line, you’ll need to source those separately.
This guide is intentionally scoped to Magneton itself rather than the whole family, since expanding to Magnemite and Magnezone would pull in card numbers this research pass didn’t verify.
Why This Guide Covers Only Two Printings
Magneton’s English print history is long — Base Set, Fossil, Neo Revelation, and more recently Surging Sparks and Mega Evolution all carry an English Magneton card. But Japanese set and card numbers frequently don’t map onto that English list one-for-one, and this research pass could only confirm exact Japanese card numbers, illustrators, and source citations for the two prints above.
Rather than transpose unverified English data onto a Japanese card, this guide omits any printing it couldn’t independently confirm. If you’re holding an older Japanese Magneton card and want to know which print it is, our rarity guide for graded buyers and Sword & Shield era guide cover general identification concepts, even though neither states a specific older Magneton card number.

자주 묻는 질문
What is the most valuable Japanese Magneton card?
Of the two prints verified for this guide, the Art Rare Magneton (SV8 112/106) from Super Electric Breaker is the higher-rarity card, and our PSA 10 copy is currently listed at ¥9,493 (about $59.70 at ¥159/USD). We don’t have verified market pricing for the Pokemon Card 151 Uncommon or for any older Japanese Magneton printing.
What does the Super Electric Breaker Art Rare’s ability do?
Overcharge Discharge discards Magneton itself to attach up to three basic Lightning Energy cards from the discard pile to your Pokemon — a one-time energy-acceleration effect.
Why does the Pokemon Card 151 Magneton have the number 082?
Pokemon Card 151 numbers its cards to match each Pokemon’s National Pokedex entry, and Magneton is Kanto Dex #82 — so its card number, 082/165, mirrors that Pokedex number.
What does Magneton evolve from, and what does it evolve into?
Magneton evolves from Magnemite, and in some game generations it can further evolve into Magnezone. Both cards covered in this guide are the Magneton stage specifically.
Are there more Japanese Magneton card printings than these two?
Almost certainly — Magneton has a long English print history dating back to Base Set, and it has likely been reprinted in Japan many times since the mid-1990s. This guide only covers the two printings we could confirm to an exact Japanese card number and source citation; older prints are omitted rather than guessed at.
