Channel the electrifying energy of the original Pokémon TCG with the Magneton Holo 9/102 from the Base Set Unlimited—a nostalgic treasure for collectors and fans of the franchise's golden era. First released in 1999 by Wizards of the Coast, this Holo Rare card captures Magneton in its iconic Stage 1 evolution, formed by the magnetic fusion of multiple Magnemites. The artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi showcases the Pokémon’s metallic, otherworldly design with striking detail, set against a shimmering holographic foil background that catches the light with every angle. As part of the foundational Base Set, this card represents a cornerstone of Pokémon TCG history, evoking memories of early booster packs, playground battles, and the global phenomenon that launched a generation of trainers.

Magneton packs a dual-threat attack lineup that reflects its scientific, high-voltage theme. With Thunder Wave, it can deliver 30 damage and potentially paralyze the defending Pokémon on a coin flip—adding a strategic layer of disruption. Its second move, Selfdestruct, unleashes a massive 80 damage while also dealing 20 damage to each Pokémon on both players’ Benches, making it a high-risk, high-reward finisher. With 60 HP, a single Colorless retreat cost, and a weakness to Fighting-type attacks, Magneton balances utility and risk, making it not just a collectible, but a once-competitive in-game asset. As a Holo Rare, it stands out in any collection, its reflective finish symbolizing the rarity and charm of the early print runs

This Unlimited version of Magneton 9/102 offers accessibility to collectors who appreciate vintage Pokémon cards without the astronomical price tag of 1st Edition or Shadowless variants. While still highly sought after, the Unlimited print allows fans to own a piece of TCG history in Near Mint or better condition, perfect for display, trading, or even casual gameplay. Whether you're completing a Base Set run, curating a retro-themed collection, or passing on the joy of Pokémon to a new generation, the Magneton Holo 9/102 is a vibrant, electrifying addition that continues to resonate over two decades later
