Artwork Description
The artwork on this card depicts three metallic spheres connected together, each with a large central eye and magnet-like arms, floating against a starry, cosmic background filled with glowing, radiant sparkles.
Playability Overview
Magneton's high damage output and potential to paralyze are strong, but its self-damaging move and low HP make it risky and less viable in competitive play.
