Xerneas

Description

Designed by artist sui, this Fairy-type Pokémon stands at 130 HP and serves as a Basic stage card within the expansion. The reverse holo treatment provides a textured, shimmering background that enhances the card's visual appeal without altering its gameplay mechanics. In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this card offers strategic utility through its attacks. The first ability, Colorless Lead, allows players to search their deck for a Supporter card, reveal it, and add it to their hand before shuffling the deck back. The second attack, Bright Horns, deals 130 damage but includes a restriction preventing its use on the following turn. With a Retreat Cost of 2, managing energy resources is key to utilizing Xerneas effectively in competitive play. The Reverse Holo variant is particularly popular among set builders who appreciate the subtle aesthetic differences it brings to a collection. Whether you are completing the CIN checklist or focusing on Fairy-type cards, this release offers a tangible connection to the 2017 era of Pokémon card design. The card remains a staple for enthusiasts looking to acquire high-quality examples of this print run. For investors and hobbyists alike, the Crimson Invasion expansion represents a significant chapter in Pokémon TCG history. Acquiring cards like Xerneas #73 allows collectors to preserve the legacy of this era. The combination of sui’s artwork and the functional card text makes it a desirable addition to any organized binder or display case.
