Description
Released in 2003 as part of the Aquapolis expansion, this Porygon2 card holds the number 28 in the series. Designed by artist Hikaru Koike, the card represents the evolved form of Porygon and carries the Stage 1 designation within the Pokémon Trading Card Game framework. As a Colorless type with 70 HP, it fits into a versatile archetype that relies on strategic resource management rather than elemental advantage. The card’s primary mechanical identity lies in its Backup ability, which allows players to draw cards from their deck to maintain a hand size of three, provided they have two or fewer cards at the start of their turn. This mechanic encourages careful deck building and hand control, making it a favorite among players who enjoy tactical depth. Its attack, Hypnotic Ray, deals 20 damage and inflicts the Asleep status condition on the Defending Pokémon, adding a layer of disruption to gameplay. Its rarity as a Rare card further enhances its appeal to hobbyists seeking to complete their collection or invest in foundational Pokémon cards. Whether you are building a competitive deck or preserving a piece of Pokémon history, this card represents a significant addition to any enthusiast's portfolio.
