Numbered 009\/102, it sits among the upper tier of the original 102-card set — the foundation of an entire trading card game that would go on to become a global phenomenon. Pulling a holofoil from a Base Set pack was a moment, and Magneton was one of the cards that delivered that feeling. Finding a clean copy today is a reminder of just how much this set meant to an entire generation of players and collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe card features Magneton's distinctive triple-magnet form rendered in the original Ken Sugimori-influenced art style, with the holographic foil treatment making its metallic design particularly well-suited to the format. Mechanically, Magneton was a respectable Lightning-type attacker in the early metagame, capable of putting out solid damage with its Sonicboom and Thunder Wave attacks — a card that saw genuine play in the era when Base Set was the format. That combination of playability and collectibility is part of what makes Base Set holofoils so enduring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBase Set itself is the starting point of the entire Pokemon TCG — the print run that introduced Booster Packs, Trainer cards, Energy types, and the fundamental rules that underpin every set released since. Owning a holofoil from this set is owning a piece of the hobby's origin story. Cards like Magneton, sometimes overshadowed by the Charizards and Blastoises of the set, carry their own distinct character and are genuinely sought after by collectors building complete holofoil runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is for the collector chasing a complete Base Set holo lineup, the longtime fan who remembers cracking packs at the lunch table, or anyone who simply appreciates owning a standout card from the most important set in Pokemon TCG history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coolection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57159080902822,"sku":"PKC-42433-FL","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/7404\/4838\/files\/PKC-42433-FL-1.webp?v=1787593044","url":"https:\/\/coolection.com\/products\/magneton-base-set-009-102-foil","provider":"Coolection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
