Bring the nostalgic charm of the original Pokémon Trading Card Game into your collection with the Magnemite (53/102) Base Set Shadowless card. This classic Lightning-type Basic Pokémon card captures the early magic of the TCG, released as part of the iconic Base Set in 1999. Highly sought after by collectors, the Shadowless version is distinguished by the absence of a black border around the artwork, making it a prized variant from the early print runs. With its striking design and vintage appeal, this card is a must-have for enthusiasts looking to complete their Base Set or showcase a piece of Pokémon history.

Magnemite, known for its anti-gravity suspension and electromagnetic attacks, comes to life in this card with a simple yet effective moveset. It features Thunder Wave, which flips a coin to potentially paralyze the defending Pokémon, and Selfdestruct, a powerful attack that deals 40 damage while also damaging Magnemite itself and affecting all Benched Pokémon. With 40 HP, a retreat cost of one Colorless energy, and a weakness to Fighting types, this card reflects the balanced mechanics of the original set. Illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi, the artwork perfectly captures Magnemite’s mechanical design and electric aura, adding to its visual appeal.

As a Common rarity card, Magnemite may not be the rarest in the set, but its significance in the Base Set and popularity among fans make it a valuable addition to any collection. Whether you're a seasoned collector, a nostalgic fan, or a new player exploring the roots of the Pokémon TCG, this Shadowless Magnemite offers both historical value and gameplay potential. Its clean, ungraded (raw) condition preserves its original state, ideal for display or trading. Add this authentic piece of Pokémon history to your deck or collection today and experience the enduring legacy of the Base Set.
