Its Ability

Magnetic FieldChamp magnétique

Once during your turn (before your attack), if you have basic Energy cards in your discard pile, you may discard any 1 card from your hand. Then search for up to 2 basic Energy cards from your discard pile, show them to your opponent, and put them into your hand. You can't return the card you first discarded to your hand in this way. This power can't be used if Magneton is affected by a Special Condition.Une seule fois lors de votre tour (avant votre attaque), si vous avez des cartes Énergie de base dans votre pile de défausse, vous pouvez défausser n'importe quelle carte de votre main. Ensuite, choisissez jusqu'à deux cartes Énergie de base dans votre pile de défausse, montrez-les à votre adversaire et placez-les dans votre main. Vous ne pouvez pas choisir la carte que vous venez de défausser. Ce pouvoir ne peut pas être utilisé si Magneton est affecté par un État spécial.

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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

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

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 875 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.
