Release information
This card was included in the Team Rocket expansion as both a Holofoil and Non Holofoil card, first released in the Japanese Rocket Gang expansion as a Holofoil card.
Although this Pokémon is level 26, Magnemite does not evolve into Magneton until level 30.
This card's Pokédex entry erroneously refers to the plural of Magneton as Magnetons.
Unusually for English cards given a Non Holofoil counterpart, the artwork on the card differs between the Holofoil and Non Holofoil prints. While the Holofoil print has a white background, the Non Holofoil print has a multicolored, warped background.
