About the Pokémon

Magneton is the Magnet Pokémon, recorded as No. 082 in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation I, associated with the Kanto generation of games. Its form combines several Magnemite into a single Pokémon. It evolves from Magnemite. Its species identity is shared across its different TCG appearances.

About the Expansion

Released in Japan on 20 October 1996, Expansion Pack established the Pokémon Trading Card Game alongside its starter product. Its Kanto Pokémon, Trainer cards and Energy cards introduced the game's foundational structure. The original Japanese Pocket Monsters card back places these cards at the beginning of the TCG's collecting history.
