Magnemite: Rarity & Collectibility
Magnemite in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #008/012 of the McDonald's Promos 2018 set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Magnemite?
In 2026, a Near Mint Magnemite (Common, McDonald's Promos 2018 #008/012) changes hands at roughly $2.83, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $2.83, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.86. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.83, Lightly Played $2.26, Moderately Played $1.16, Heavily Played $1.16, Damaged $0.86 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.

Collector Outlook for Magnemite
As a Common, Magnemite earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. An accessible pickup whose pull is enjoyment and progress toward a finished set. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Magnemite on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
