The artwork on this card depicts Magnemite hovering in a stormy sky, electricity crackling around its metallic body, its single eye wide and alert as it manipulates magnetic forces with glowing red and blue magnets.
Playability Overview
Magnemite’s Thunder Wave can disrupt opponents by causing paralysis, but its low HP and self-damaging attack require careful timing and support to maximize strategic value.
