Strategy & play
How Magnemite plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is search / tutoring. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Metal Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥30 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 — ≥30 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.

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.
What is Magnemite worth?
As of the latest data, there are no active listings on The Game Traders right now. Actual value depends on condition, grading, edition and printing variant — graded high-condition copies (PSA 9–10) trade at a substantial premium over raw copies.
