#53 Magnemite - Base (base1)
Magnemite is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 40 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It has no resistances but is weak to Fighting attacks, taking double damage from them. The card features two attacks: Thunder Wave, which costs one Lightning energy and deals 10 damage while potentially paralyzing the defending Pokémon, and Selfdestruct, requiring two energy (Lightning and Colorless) to deal 40 damage to all Pokémon on both Benches, including itself. The flavor text describes Magnemite as using anti-gravity to hover and striking without warning with abilities like Thunder Wave. It was first released in the Base set in 1999 and is classified as a Common rarity. The card is illustrated by artist Keiji Kinebuchi and belongs to the Base set. Its themecolor is a warm golden hue, reflecting its electrical nature.
