Sawsbuck

Description

Released in 2011 as part of the Pokémon Black & White set, the Sawsbuck card (#14) is a Stage 1 Grass-type evolution of Deerling. Illustrated by Naoyo Kimura, this card captures the seasonal migration theme of the species through its gameplay mechanics. The card features 90 HP and offers strategic options with its attacks, including Colorless Nature Power and Horn Leech, which allows the player to heal damage based on attached Grass Energy. Collectors often seek out this card for its connection to the Generation V era, which introduced distinct Pokémon and mechanics to the TCG. The Sawsbuck card is particularly interesting for its reliance on shared energy counts between players, creating a dynamic interaction during matches. As a Rare card from the BLW set code, it represents a specific point in the franchise's history when the focus shifted to regional ecosystems and seasonal changes. Whether you are building a comprehensive collection of the Black & White series or focusing on Grass-type Pokémon, this card offers a tangible link to the 2011 expansion. Its design and mechanics reflect the innovative direction the Pokémon Trading Card Game took during this period, making it a notable item for dedicated hobbyists.
