Spoink

Description

This Basic Psychic-type card stands out for its distinctive attack pattern, which relies on chance rather than fixed damage output. Players must flip three coins to execute Psychic Flail Around, dealing 10 damage multiplied by the number of heads flipped. This mechanical unpredictability makes the card a memorable piece for trainers who appreciate strategic variance in their decks. Designed by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, the card captures the essence of Spoink’s lore, where its constant bouncing keeps its heart beating. The artwork and design elements reflect the aesthetic standards of the Boundaries Crossed era, providing a tangible connection to that specific period of the franchise’s history. For collectors, this card serves as a catalog entry for fans of the Hoenn region Pokémon or those building comprehensive sets of the Boundaries Crossed series. Collecting Pokémon cards often involves seeking out specific sets that define different chapters of the game’s evolution. Spoink, with its modest 50 HP and single retreat cost, represents the foundational Basic stage that supports more complex strategies. Whether you are looking to complete a set, gift a card to a fellow enthusiast, or simply appreciate the design history of the franchise, this release offers a clear window into 2012 Pokémon culture. By focusing on the identity and context of each card, collectors can build a library that reflects the breadth of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This Spoink card remains a key identifier for the Boundaries Crossed set, allowing collectors to track their progress and share their collection with others who value the game's rich history.
