Tangela

Description

As card number 112, this Reverse Holo variant offers collectors a shimmering finish that distinguishes it from the standard common print runs within the set. The card retains its original artwork by Tomokazu Komiya, capturing the character's design in a format that appeals to both nostalgic players and modern completists. From a gameplay perspective, Tangela brings utility to Grass-heavy decks with its 60 HP and versatile attack options. The first attack, Tickling Vines, allows players to flip a coin; if it lands on heads, it prevents the opposing Pokémon from attacking on the next turn, providing strategic disruption. The second attack, Double Kick, scales its damage based on coin flips, offering potential for significant impact in the early game. With a retreat cost of two Colorless energy, the card balances offensive capability with mobility considerations typical of the era's design philosophy. Tangela #112 represents an accessible entry point into building a complete set, whether for display purposes or for rekindling memories of early 2000s gameplay. The Reverse Holo treatment adds a layer of visual interest, making it a desirable addition for those focusing on finish variations.
