Pokémon: N/A Series: Base Set Set: Team Rocket Card Number: 60 Rarity: Common Condition: N/A Grade: Raw Year: 2000 Illustrator: Miki Tanaka Magnemite (60/82) from the Team Rocket expansion is a classic Lightning-type Basic Pokémon card that holds a special place in the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. First released in April 2000 as part of the 5th expansion, this Common-rarity card features the iconic artwork of Miki Tanaka and captures the magnetic charm of the Magnet Pokémon. With 40 HP and a simple yet strategic design, Magnemite serves as a solid early-game presence, perfect for collectors and players alike who appreciate vintage TCG aesthetics and gameplay. Its inclusion in the notorious Team Rocket set—known for its dark themes and powerful Dark Pokémon—adds an extra layer of nostalgia and intrigue. Battle-ready and electrically charged, Magnemite comes equipped with two distinct attacks: Tackle for 20 damage and Magnetism, a Lightning-energy-powered move that deals 10 damage plus 10 more for each Magnemite, Magneton, or Dark Magneton on your Bench. This makes it a synergistic choice in decks built around magnetic Pokémon swarms, rewarding players who coordinate their Bench strategically. With a retreat cost of just 1 Colorless energy and a weakness to Fighting-type attacks, this card balances accessibility with tactical depth, reflecting the early meta of the TCG. Despite its modest stats, its thematic flavor and utility in swarm-based strategies give it enduring appeal. Beyond gameplay, Magnemite’s lore adds to its allure. The card's flavor text notes that when enough Magnemites and Magnetons gather, they can generate a powerful magnetic barrier—an eerie foreshadowing of Team Rocket’s manipulative experiments with Pokémon. This connection to the villainous narrative of the set enhances its collectibility, especially in its 1st Edition form, which is highly sought after by enthusiasts. Whether you're building a retro-themed deck, completing a vintage collection, or preserving a piece of Pokémon TCG history, the raw, ungraded Magnemite (60/82) from Team Rocket is a nostalgic and functional treasure from the dawn of the trading card phenomenon.
