Description
As a Basic stage Pokémon with 70 HP, Phione offers a distinct tactical option in the Trading Card Game. Its standout feature is the Whirlpool Suction ability, which allows the player to force the opponent to switch their Active Pokémon with a Benched Pokémon during their turn. This effect provides significant board control without relying on energy attachments for activation. The card’s attack, Water Rain Splash, deals 10 damage and requires a single Water Energy to execute. With a retreat cost of 1, Phione is designed to be easily moved around the bench, maximizing the utility of its Whirlpool Suction ability. Designed by artist AKIRA EGAWA, this card carries a Rare rarity designation within the Cosmic Eclipse expansion, making it a sought-after piece for set builders and thematic collectors. For investors and hobbyists, the Cosmic Eclipse series remains a significant release in the Pokémon TCG landscape. The Phione #57 card stands out for its ability to disrupt opponent strategies, offering gameplay value that complements its collectible status. Whether you are completing the Cosmic Eclipse collection or looking for cards with unique mechanical interactions, this Phione release provides both nostalgic appeal and strategic depth. The card’s Pokédex number 489 further identifies it within the broader Pokémon universe, adding to its lore-based collecting appeal.
