Strategy & play
How Magnemite plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Magnetic Bomb) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Lightning Energy to attack — note its own type is Metal, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
- Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥25 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Seen in 0% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 2 copies.
How to beat Magnemite
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥25 damage one-shots it.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Magnemite is real?
Magnemite is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
