Magneton · Scarlet & Violet 151, what to know.
About the Magneton card
Numbered 82 of 207 in Scarlet & Violet 151, released in September 2023, Magneton is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Lightning-type carrying 90 HP.
It evolves from Magnemite, so Magneton is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Yuka Morii.
Magneton carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Three Magnemite are linked by a strong magnetic force. Earaches will occur if you get too close."

What is Magneton worth?
Magneton is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Magneton before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Magneton grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Magneton
Raw copies of Magneton are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Magneton is the practical move.
