Its Ability

Magnetic Flow

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Magneton is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, choose 2 of your opponent's Pokémon that have Energy cards attached to them. Choose 1 of the Energy cards attached to each of those Pokémon and switch them between the Pokémon. This power can't be used if Magneton is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Steel Wave

30

This attack does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that are the same type (color) as the Defending Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It has an Ability, Magnetic Flow. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,620 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  3. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,620 tournament lists we have read, 1,307 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
