Seadra

Description

Released in 2017 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s Burning Shadows expansion, this Seadra card is designated as card number 030 out of 147. Classified as an Uncommon rarity within the set, the card represents the Stage 1 evolution of Horsea, continuing the lineage of this distinct Water-type Pokémon. The card features artwork by Suwama Chiaki and showcases Seadra’s defensive capabilities through its signature attack, Water Arrow. This move deals 30 damage to a single opponent’s Pokémon, but it includes a specific mechanical advantage: it ignores Weakness and Resistance when targeting Pokémon on the bench. This unique interaction makes the card a strategic choice for players looking to apply pressure without standard defensive modifiers affecting the outcome. Collectors of the Burning Shadows set often seek out this card to complete their Uncommon pulls or to build themed decks around Water-type strategies. The card’s design remains faithful to the era’s aesthetic, highlighting Seadra’s sharp spikes as noted in its Pokédex entry. For investors and hobbyists alike, owning a piece of the 2017 Burning Shadows catalog offers a tangible connection to a pivotal year in the TCG’s history. Whether you are assembling a comprehensive collection of Pokémon cards or focusing on specific subsets, this Seadra card stands as a solid addition. Its straightforward yet unique attack pattern ensures it remains relevant for those interested in the mechanical diversity of the Burning Shadows expansion.
