# Magneton #43/102 — Triumphant

## Summary

Magneton is a steady Gen I favorite, a Kanto Electric-Steel oddity that collectors of the original 151 keep room for. As a Triumphant uncommon it was a filler pull with no tournament role, so demand is binder completists, with Noriko Hotta's name adding mild appeal. A $0.49 modelled guide, up 2% over 30 days on 1 copy traded, says bulk, with 576 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file, and the same card plays for $0.14 out of Mega Evolution.
