Magneton · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Magneton card
Magneton is card 64 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, a Common. It is a Stage 1 Lightning-type with 90 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Magnemite, which places Magneton deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

What is Magneton worth?
Magneton is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure 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 is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
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.
