Magneton #159 Value
SVP Black Star Promos · Card 159/226 · Promo · 2023
Magneton is that magnet-headed evolution collectors have a soft spot for, and this particular version, card #159 from the Promo set, comes with Shinji Kanda artwork that gives it a bit of extra charm on top of the usual promo appeal. Released in 2023, it is not a chase card in the way a rare holo might be, but there is still a real Magneton value here worth understanding before you buy, sell, or crack a pack hoping to pull one. Right now the raw price sits at $9, which makes it an easy card to pick up if you just want one for your binder.

Magneton — collector's take
Is Magneton worth grading?
So is it worth sending Magneton off to get graded? Here is the honest answer: a raw copy runs about $9, a Grade 9 brings $25, and a PSA 10 sits at $180, which works out to 20.0x the raw price. That jump looks tempting on paper, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land, grading fees eat into any profit, and there is always a chance your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you already own a sharp-looking copy and grading is affordable where you are, it can make sense to try. If you are buying purely to flip for grading profit, treat it like a gamble, because that is what it is.
How rare is it?
There are 21,534 graded copies of Magneton on record, and of those, 8,012 have earned a PSA 10. That is a decent chunk of the population sitting at the top grade, which tells you this card is not brutally hard to find in gem mint condition once it is out there. It also means the PSA 10 price stays grounded rather than spiking, since supply at the top end is healthy relative to the total pool.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, since we log real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on guesswork. Magneton has been pulled 200 or more times across packs, courtyard, collector-crypt, mnstr, and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $300. It shows up in packs like XY Evolutions, the Pokémon Starter Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble and most rips do not beat what you paid in, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than the plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Magneton worth?
A raw, ungraded Magneton is worth $9 right now. Once graded, a Grade 9 climbs to $25 and a PSA 10 reaches $180, so condition makes a real difference to the price.
Is Magneton worth grading?
It depends on your copy and your goals. The PSA 10 price is 20.0x the raw value, which sounds great, but gem mint copies are not guaranteed, and grading costs plus the risk of a lower grade can eat into that upside.
What set is Magneton from?
Magneton #159 comes from the Promo set, released in 2023, with artwork by Shinji Kanda. It has also turned up in packs like XY Evolutions and a handful of gacha style pack products.
