Tranquill

Description

Tranquill, card number 124 in the 2012 Boundaries Crossed expansion, represents a pivotal evolution in the Pidove line for Pokémon TCG enthusiasts. As a Stage 1 Pokémon, it serves as a crucial link for collectors building teams around this evolutionary chain. The reverse holo treatment adds a distinct visual flair to this uncommon card, making it a sought-after component for set completionists who value both the creature and its special finish. Tranquill is a Colorless type with 80 hit points, offering a balanced stat line for its stage. Its primary attack, Air Slash, allows players to deal 60 damage by discarding an attached Energy card. This mechanic introduces a strategic layer where trainers must manage their resources carefully to maintain offensive pressure. The retreat cost of one Colorless energy makes it relatively easy to move around the battlefield, providing flexibility in deck construction. The design of this card reflects the aesthetic of the late 2010s Pokémon era, with clean typography and clear information hierarchy. Artist Kanako Eo brings Tranquill to life, capturing the essence of this flying-type Pokémon. For many collectors, completing the Boundaries Crossed set is a significant achievement, and having every card, including this reverse holo variant, is essential for a complete collection. Whether you are focusing on the Pokédex number 520 or simply appreciate the design of the Boundaries Crossed series, this card holds a special place in the hearts of many Pokémon fans.
