Dewpider

Description

Dewpider, card number 14 from the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s Burning Shadows expansion, was released in 2017 under the BUS set code. Designed by Kouki Saitou, this Basic Grass-type Pokémon is a staple for collectors building out the base set. The card features a reverse holo finish that catches the light, distinguishing it from the standard foil treatments found elsewhere in the print run. In gameplay, Dewpider boasts 60 hit points and offers a retreat cost of just one energy. Its signature move, Grass Ambush, allows players to flip a coin; a successful flip deals an additional 10 damage. This mechanic provides a simple yet effective strategic element for trainers looking to utilize early-game resources efficiently. The card’s Pokédex entry notes that it crawls onto land in search of food, using its water bubble to breathe and protect its soft head. For investors and hobbyists, the Burning Shadows set remains a popular entry in the modern Pokémon TCG era. Collectors often seek out specific finishes to complete their binder collections, and the reverse holo variant adds visual appeal without the premium pricing of rare holographics. Whether you are completing the set for nostalgia or adding to a thematic Grass-type collection, this Dewpider reverse holo serves as an accessible and visually distinct addition to any display.
