# Dark Magneton #28/82 — Team Rocket

## Summary

Dark Magneton is a mid-tier Rare from Team Rocket, the set that first gave Pokémon a villain's twist, and the Dark prefix still pulls collectors who want the original Rocket subtheme. Miki Tanaka is among the early Wizards-era illustrators, and Magneton keeps steady Gen I affection without any big chase pressure. The modelled guide sits at $15 with 27 copies traded in 30 days, with 700 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
