About the artist
We have no illustrator credit we can verify for this card. Either it predates the official Pokémon card database — whose coverage starts with the 2006 DP era — or the credit printed on the card face is not legible in the image we hold. A credit sits beside “Illus.” on the card itself; we have left the name out rather than publish one we cannot verify.
Every illustrator we can verify is listed, with their credited cards in price order, on our illustrator page.
Illustrator credit: none we can verify for this card. We publish the artist only when the credit is legible on the card face or confirmed by the official Pokémon card database.
Where this card came from
Magneton was released on November 8, 2024, as part of Pokémon Center store promo. It carries the card number 159.
Promo cards are not sold in booster boxes. They reach collectors through a specific campaign — a store, a museum, a film, an anniversary or a championship — which is why the printed number is the only reliable identifier: the same Pokémon can appear on dozens of promo cards across the same era, and the number is what separates them.
That is also why this card appears in our celebration, collaboration and event index rather than in a set list: nothing here came out of a booster box.
