Trevenant

Description

Trevenant is a Psychic-type Stage 1 Pokémon from the 2016 BREAKpoint set, originally illustrated by Midori Harada. Evolving from Phantump, this card carries 110 HP and features the distinctive Nervous Seed ability. As long as Trevenant is your Active Pokémon, your opponent's Basic Pokémon attacks cost one additional Colorless Energy. This defensive utility makes it a strategic choice for deck builders looking to disrupt early-game aggression. The card's primary offensive option is Psychic Energy Press, which deals 70 damage plus an additional 10 damage for each Energy attached to your opponent's Active Pokémon. This scaling attack allows Trevenant to deal significant damage in the mid-to-late game, provided the opponent has built up their energy reserves. The retreat cost of three Colorless Energy is relatively high, requiring careful energy management to switch Trevenant out when necessary. Collectors value Trevenant for its unique ability interaction and its role in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Trevenant's design reflects its Pokédex entry, noting its ability to use roots as a nervous system to control the forest. The card is categorized as a Rare, making it a common but essential part of the set's distribution. For investors and hobbyists, the BREAKpoint era represents a significant period in Pokémon TCG history. Trevenant's specific mechanics appeal to players who enjoy strategic control and resource denial. The card's identity is firmly rooted in its role as a defensive anchor that rewards patience and precise energy placement. Its enduring presence in collections highlights its lasting appeal among fans of the Psychic type and those who appreciate unique ability interactions.
