How does Magnezone 6 compare with every other card?

What Magnezone 6 does without attacking

Magnezone 6 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

1 of 1

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Super Connectivity — Poké-Power · once a turn

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may search your discard pile for a Lightning or Metal Energy card and attach it to your Active Pokémon. Then, put 1 damage counter on that Pokémon. This power can't be used if Magnezone is affected by a Special Condition.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Super Connectivity can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

This effect places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Super Connectivity puts damage counters on a Pokémon rather than dealing damage to it. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the rules keep them apart: effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them.

Is Magnezone 6 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 60 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

What does being a Lightning card do for Magnezone 6?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 546 cards in the archive that can remove Magnezone 6 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 90 printed damage against a bar of 90. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Magnezoneweak to Fighting +30

Magnezoneresists Metal -20

Read from the two boxes in the lower-left corner of the card — weakness multiplies incoming damage, resistance subtracts from it.

What the Metal resistance changes

Damage from Metal attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack printed high enough to knock this card out on paper may not do it. Resistance is a flat subtraction, not a multiplier — it does not scale with the attack.

What is Magnezone as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Magnezone 6 is one print of Magnezone. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

What has to be in play before Magnezone 6 can be?

Magnezone evolves from Magneton, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Magneton.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 462.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (170 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Magnezone print, and can the older ones still be played?

31 prints carry this name in the archive, and 27 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Which rules apply to Magnezone 6, and where can it be played?

Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.

Rulebook clauses that apply to Magnezone 6
Clause	What the rulebook says	Cards it applies to	Share of the archive
Weakness	Some Pokemon have Weakness or Resistance to Pokemon of certain types, marked in the lower-left corner of the card.	16,744 cards	81.9%

Energy per turn	You can attach Energy just once each turn!	17,180 cards	84.0%

Counted across 20,444 English cards. A clause applies to this card because the card carries the property the clause names, not because we judged it to.

Magnezone 6 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Gyro Ball, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 20 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 3 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Magneton has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 4,897 of 17,290

Lightning cardsNo. 400 of 1,520

Stage 2 cardsNo. 1,297 of 1,749

StormfrontNo. 12 of 92

What actually removes it

A Fighting attack printed at 90 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 120 HP.
548 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 1,774 cards in one attack.
Damage from Metal attacks is reduced before it is applied, so an attack that clears the bar on paper may still fall short.

Magnezone 6 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Magnezone 6?

Magnezone 6 has 120 HP and a Fighting weakness at +30, so a Fighting attack printed at 90 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 120.

What is the strongest attack on Magnezone 6?

Gyro Ball, printed at 60 damage for 3 Energy — 20 damage per Energy card. You may switch Magnezone with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. If you do, your opponent switches the Defending Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Magnezone 6?

3 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

How often can you use Super Connectivity?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of Magnezone in play carries its own use.

Does Magnezone 6 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Magnezone print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 27 prints listed on this page, 12 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Magnezone evolve from?

Magneton. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Magnezone 6 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Magnezone 6 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
