Nidoran ♂

Description

The Aquapolis set, released in 2003, remains a defining chapter for fans of the early Pokémon TCG. Within this collection, card number 96 highlights Nidoran ♂ as a Basic Grass-type Pokémon with 50 HP. This card is distinguished by its reverse holo treatment, which adds a distinct reflective quality to the common rarity tier, making it a favorite among collectors who appreciate the visual variety of the base set. Designed by Keiko Fukuyama, the card presents the classic artwork style that defined the era's aesthetic. Collectors often seek out these reverse holo versions to complete their Aquapolis collections with a more dynamic look. The card’s gameplay includes the Grass Poison Horn attack, allowing players to flip a coin to poison the defending Pokémon, alongside a simple Colorless Scratch attack for 20 damage. For investors and hobbyists, this product represents a tangible piece of trading card history, bridging the gap between early game mechanics and modern collecting standards. Building a complete Aquapolis set requires tracking down these unique treatments alongside standard prints.
