Tynamo

Description

The Pokémon Dark Explorers Tynamo card, numbered 45, represents a staple from the 2012 expansion. This Basic Pokémon belongs to the Lightning type and carries 40 Hit Points, making it a foundational element for many deck strategies. Its primary offensive capability is the Lightning Spark attack, which deals 10 damage to one of your opponent's Benched Pokémon, with specific rules that prevent the application of Weakness and Resistance in this scenario. The card requires a retreat cost of 1 colorless energy to move into the Active spot during gameplay. Designed by Akira Komayama, this card is part of the Dark Explorers set, identified by the DEX set code. Collectors often seek out Dark Explorers cards to complete their set collections, appreciating the era's distinct design aesthetics and gameplay mechanics. Tynamo’s Pokédex entry notes that these Pokémon move in schools and discharge electricity from a specialized organ when threatened, adding flavor to the card's identity. For investors and hobbyists, the Pokémon TCG remains a robust market for vintage cards from the early 2010s, with Dark Explorers offering a specific niche for those focused on Lightning-type collections.
