I am using a self-built electromagnet in my project that consumes 9.0 amps at supplied voltage of 12 VDC. I don't mind even if amps goes high. The power supply I am using can provide up to 30 amps. I have to experiment with providing an oscillating power supply to electromagnet.
I want to use IC 555 timer for that purpose. But IC 555 timers that I searched appear to have output 200 mA. Is there any 555 timer that provides high current what I need OR is it possible to use same 555 timer with some external equipment for that. Any sources or tutorial for that will also be very helpful.

No, there is not a 555 timer that can drive 9 amperes. However, a 555 can drive a transistor which can drive 9A.
