Piloswine

Description

The Piloswine Reverse Holo card (No. 81) from the 2015 Pokémon BREAKthrough set captures the raw power of this Ice-type Pokémon in a distinct foil treatment. Designed by MAHOU, this Uncommon card serves as a valuable addition to any BREAKthrough collection, offering collectors a tangible piece of the 2015 TCG era. Piloswine is a Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from Swinub, boasting 100 HP and a Fighting type that allows it to engage effectively in battle against common counters. The card’s strategic value lies in its unique attack, Gathering Footsteps. This move deals 30 damage plus an additional 10 damage for each Colorless energy in the Retreat Cost of your Swinub, Piloswine, and Mamoswine. This scaling mechanic makes the card particularly interesting for builders focusing on the Swinub evolutionary line, as the damage output increases significantly as you evolve your Pokémon and manage their retreat costs. The Push Down attack offers a secondary utility option, allowing players to force their opponent to switch their Active Pokémon with one from their Bench, disrupting their strategy and potentially exposing weaker targets. The reverse holo finish adds a premium visual appeal, making it a standout piece in any binder or display. Whether you are completing a full set, focusing on Fighting-type cards, or building a competitive deck around the Swinub line, this card offers both aesthetic and functional value. The BREAKthrough series remains a favorite among vintage collectors for its vibrant designs and balanced gameplay, and Piloswine stands as a solid representation of that era's creative direction.
