Servine

Description

Numbered 12 in the 2012 Boundaries Crossed expansion, this Servine card captures the agility of the Snake Pokémon with a striking reverse holo treatment. As a Stage 1 Grass-type evolution of Snivy, it holds 80 HP and serves as a functional piece for trainers seeking versatility in their decks. The reverse holo finish adds a layer of visual appeal, distinguishing it from the standard foil treatments found throughout the set. Designed by artist Mizue, the card’s layout emphasizes the subject’s swift nature, aligning with its Pokédex entry that describes movements as if sliding along the ground. Servine possesses two primary attacks: Grass Vine Whip, which deals 20 damage, and GrassColorlessColorless Double Slash, a more dynamic option. This second attack requires players to flip two coins, dealing 40 damage for each heads result. With a modest retreat cost of one, Servine offers strategic flexibility, allowing trainers to position it effectively on the bench or active spot. For collectors of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this uncommon card represents a key component of the Boundaries Crossed set. Whether you are building a competitive deck around Grass-type strategies or completing your collection of vintage Pokémon cards, Servine provides both nostalgic value and mechanical utility. Its ability to deal variable damage makes it a reliable choice for mid-game scenarios, while its evolution line from Snivy connects it to one of the most popular starter Pokémon in the franchise. This card remains a staple for enthusiasts looking to add depth to their Pokémon card collections.
