Magneton had no further evolution until Pokémon Diamond and Pearl introduced Magnezone, an Electric and Steel type that looks like a flying saucer built from three magnet units. Magneton originally evolved by leveling up in an area with a special magnetic field, which is why it cannot evolve in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Sword and Shield and Scarlet and Violet have no such area, so from Generation VIII onward a Thunder Stone does the job.
Its standard abilities are Magnet Pull, which keeps Steel type opponents from fleeing or switching out, and Sturdy, which lets it survive a hit that would knock it out from full HP; its hidden ability, Analytic, powers up its move when it acts last in a turn. It stands 1.2 meters tall and weighs 180 kilograms.
Magnezone debuted on English cards in the 2007 Diamond & Pearl set as a holo rare by Nakaoka, and it also appeared on two DP Black Star Promos. Legends Awakened added Magnezone LV.X in 2008, Stormfront printed two more holo rares that year, and Triumphant (2010) made it one of the HeartGold & SoulSilver era's Pokémon Prime cards.
The later mechanics followed era by era: two Magnezone EX in Flashfire (2014), a regular card by Eske Yoshinob (#35) and a full art by Ryo Ueda (#101), who also drew the LV.X; a shiny Magnezone in Hidden Fates' Shiny Vault; Magnezone V and VSTAR in Lost Origin (2022), including a VSTAR numbered above the set total; a Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery card; and Magnezone ex in the 2023 Scarlet & Violet base set. Ryo Ueda, Yoshinobu Saito, PLANETA Mochizuki and N-DESIGN Inc. each hold two Magnezone credits in our catalog.

The most valuable Magnezone card is the Rare Holo LV.X from Legends Awakened, printed in 2008. Every one of the 28 Magnezone cards carries a market value, with prints running from 2007 to 2025, and the ten leading cards hold 91 percent of the total. Most of the Magnezone card value sits in that short list rather than across the full run of the species.
The Legends Awakened Rare Holo LV.X from 2008 leads Magnezone card value by 1.3 times over the next card, a Rare PRIME from Triumphant in 2010. Third is Magnezone EX, an Ultra Rare from Flashfire in 2014. Fourth is a Rare Holo from the original Diamond & Pearl set in 2007, a holo being a card with a foil-treated illustration. A Stormfront Rare Holo from 2008 sits sixth, so the leading group leans on Diamond & Pearl era holos.
Of the twenty-five leading Magnezone cards, Sword & Shield supplies 7, Diamond & Pearl 6, Sun & Moon 4 and XY 3. All ten leaders and all twenty-five are modern, since vintage means the WOTC era and no Magnezone card from that period appears in either group. The newest era's leader is the Magnezone from the 2025 Mega Evolution set, which sits 28th overall. The top spot belongs to a Diamond & Pearl card.
Among the ten leading Magnezone cards, the printed rarities are 2 Commons, 2 Rare Holos, and 1 each of Holo Rare, Rare Holo LV.X, Rare PRIME, Secret Rare, Shiny rare and Ultra Rare. The 2 Commons are both from DP Black Star Promos in 2007. Widening to the leading twenty-five, Holo Rare is the most frequent rarity with 6 cards, followed by Ultra Rare with 4 and Rare Holo with 3. Single entries include Holo Rare VMAX, Holo Rare VSTAR and Promo.
By the value of its single leading card, Magnezone ranks 273rd of 1020 species with priced cards. By the combined value of its ten leaders it ranks 235th of 753. Within its evolution line, Magneton ranks 136th of 1020 by leading card and Magnemite 398th, so Magneton's best card sits above Magnezone's in that ranking. Magnezone's card market is built on a handful of top prints, with the leading ten holding most of the value.
