Axew

Description

This release features the Basic Dragon-type Pokémon with 60 Hit Points, designed to appeal to players who enjoy strategic evolution paths. The reverse holo finish adds a distinct visual layer to the card, making it a notable entry for those building collections based on finish variety rather than just rarity tiers. From a gameplay perspective, Axew serves a specific tactical role. Its attack, Colorless Ultra Evolution, requires a coin flip to search the deck for a Haxorus and put it onto this Axew to evolve. This mechanic allows for rapid board presence, appealing to collectors interested in cards with interactive gameplay elements. The retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy makes it flexible in deck construction, though its utility is primarily tied to that specific evolution chain. Designed by Saya Tsuruta, the card carries the regulation mark F, identifying it within the legal rotation of the era. Collectors often track these cards not just for their subject, but for their place in the Brilliant Stars set's broader design language. The reverse holo treatment is a sought-after variant for those focusing on aesthetic completeness. Whether you are hunting for specific finish types or exploring the Dragon type's representation in the 2022 meta, this card remains a key identifier for that era of production.
