Description
Blastoise & Piplup-GX (Card #253) from the 2019 Pokémon Cosmic Eclipse set is a standout release within the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This Basic Water-type card features 270 HP and is illustrated by 5ban Graphics. The card is distinguished by its Rainbow Rare finish, a premium parallel treatment that adds significant visual appeal and makes it a focal point for any set builder or collector focusing on high-tier parallels. In terms of gameplay, the card offers robust utility through its attacks. WaterSplash Maker allows players to attach up to three Water Energy cards from their hand to their Pokémon in any configuration, while also healing 50 damage from those Pokémon for each card attached. The Bubble Launcher-GX attack deals damage and paralyzes the opponent's Active Pokémon, providing a powerful defensive advantage. If this Pokémon has at least three extra Water Energy cards attached beyond the attack cost, the paralysis effect is guaranteed, making it a versatile asset in water-focused strategies. Collectors often seek out the Rainbow Rare variants of key cards like Blastoise & Piplup-GX to complete their collections or to showcase premium pieces. The combination of the iconic Blastoise and the popular Piplup creates a unique dual-Pokémon presentation that appeals to fans of both characters. This card represents a key piece for enthusiasts looking to add a high-quality, visually striking card to their inventory.
