Strategy & play
How Magnezone plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is Ability-based draw/search. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- 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 ≥60 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Magneton first).
How to beat Magnezone
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥60 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

About this card
Poké-Power: Magnetic Search
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your deck for a Lightning or Metal Pokémon, show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Magnezone is affected by a Special Condition.
LCSpeed Shot
Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, or any other effects on that Pokémon.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Magnezone is real?
Magnezone 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.
