Skrelp

Description

Released in 2016 as part of the BREAKpoint expansion, Skrelp #63 represents a distinct entry in the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s early generation roster. Designed by Yukiko Baba, this Psychic-type card serves as a foundational piece for enthusiasts tracking the evolution of Pokémon species and their corresponding in-game mechanics. The reverse holo finish adds a tactile and visual layer of appeal, distinguishing it from standard commons while remaining accessible for casual and serious builders alike. At the core of this card’s identity is its Basic stage status and 50 HP, reflecting the early-game balance typical of the era. The Psychic Hide attack allows players to flip a coin; if heads, it prevents all effects of attacks, including damage, during the opponent's next turn. This defensive utility makes Skrelp a notable option for decks focusing on protection and attrition rather than raw damage output. With a modest retreat cost of one, the card offers strategic flexibility, allowing trainers to maneuver it easily on the battlefield. Collectors often seek out Skrelp #63 to complete the BREAKpoint set, which captures a specific moment in Pokémon lore and gameplay design. The card’s Pokédex number, 690, places it within a well-documented lineage of water-dragons, adding context for those interested in the species' progression. Whether you are assembling a chronological collection of Pokémon cards or hunting for specific reverse holo treatments, this product provides a verified entry point into the BREAKpoint era. The combination of Yukiko Baba’s design, the reverse holo treatment, and the card’s unique defensive ability makes it a memorable component of the 2016 expansion.
