Weedle

Description

The 2017 Crimson Invasion expansion serves as the inaugural release for the Sun & Moon era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, and card number 1 introduces Weedle to the battlefield. As a Grass-type Basic Pokémon, this card provides collectors with a foundational piece of the series' narrative, marking the start of the set's sequence. The design highlights Weedle's role within the Pokédex, referencing its presence in forests and grasslands with a sharp, toxic barb on its head. For builders of the base set, this entry is the essential starting point. The card features a standard attack called Grass Poison Sting, which allows the player to poison the opponent's Active Pokémon, adding a strategic layer to early-game play. With 50 HP and a retreat cost of 1, it balances accessibility with functional gameplay, making it a staple for new and experienced trainers alike. Artist Yukiko Baba brings this early-stage Pokémon to life within the Crimson Invasion frame. Collectors often seek this card to complete their collection of the set, as it anchors the entire sequence from number 1 to the final release. Whether you are assembling a full set for display or looking for a key component for your deck, this card represents the beginning of the Crimson Invasion journey. The enduring appeal of early-generation Pokémon cards makes this release a timeless addition to any hobbyist's catalog.
