Kyogre

Description

The Pokémon Call of Legends expansion released in 2011 brought a distinct visual style to the Trading Card Game, and card number 12 stands out as a key Water-type Basic. This iteration features the legendary Pokémon Kyogre, known in lore for swelling the seas with rain and tidal waves. The card is printed with a Holo Rare finish, giving it a reflective quality that appeals to collectors seeking classic treatments from this era. Designed by Ryo Ueda, the card captures Kyogre’s imposing presence while maintaining the clean layout typical of the Call of Legends subset. In gameplay, Kyogre offers 100 HP and a unique attack called Destructive Tsunami. The mechanic involves a coin flip that determines whether the damage hits the opponent’s Pokémon or affects your own, adding a layer of risk and excitement to matches. The retreat cost of 4 energy makes positioning a strategic consideration for players using this card in decks. For collectors, this card represents a tangible piece of the 2011 TCG landscape, often sought by those building out the Call of Legends set or looking for classic Kyogre cards. Its status as a Basic Pokémon ensures it remains a recognizable and relevant part of the franchise's history.
