Regice

Description

This entry, card number 24, features the legendary Pokémon Regice, a Water-type creature known for its icy resilience. The card is presented with a Reverse Holo finish, a treatment that adds visual depth to the collectible without altering its fundamental gameplay mechanics. Created by artist Miki Tanaka, this piece serves as a key component for builders completing the Ancient Origins set, which was designated with the set code AOR. In terms of gameplay, this Basic Pokémon boasts 120 Hit Points, providing a sturdy presence on the battlefield. Its design includes two distinct attacks that leverage its elemental nature. The first attack allows players to flip a coin; if the result is heads, the opponent's Active Pokémon becomes Paralyzed, offering a strategic disruption. The second attack deals 70 damage but includes a powerful protective clause: during the opponent's next turn, all effects of attacks, including damage, are prevented when coming from Pokémon-EX. This makes the card particularly interesting for deck construction focused on defense against high-threat opponents. With a Retreat Cost of 3, moving this Pokémon requires careful resource management, adding another layer of tactical decision-making to any match. For investors and hobbyists alike, the combination of the Ancient Origins branding, the Reverse Holo variant, and the unique defensive capabilities of this card creates a compelling item for long-term collection.
