Umbreon δ

Description

The Umbreon δ card #17 from the 2005 Pokémon Delta Species set stands as a distinctive entry in the franchise's history. Issued as a Holo Rare, this card captures the unique alternate evolution concept that defined the series. The design features the signature artist Ryo Ueda, whose work remains highly sought after by enthusiasts of the era. Unlike standard iterations, Umbreon δ introduces a specialized mechanic that changes how players interact with Special Energy cards during gameplay. The card operates as a Stage 1 Pokémon with 70 Hit Points, evolving from Eevee. Its Darkness and Metal typing offers strategic flexibility within the game's structure. The primary ability, Delta Moon, allows the player to place a damage counter on an opponent's Pokémon when they attach a Special Energy card from their hand. This creates a powerful defensive deterrent that can disrupt an opponent's resource management early in the match. For attackers, the card utilizes the DarknessMetal Feint Attack, which deals 30 damage while ignoring Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers, and Poké-Bodies. This versatility makes the card an interesting piece for collectors who appreciate unique gameplay mechanics alongside its visual appeal. The Holo Rare treatment adds a layer of visual interest that distinguishes it from common or uncommon counterparts in the same set. The combination of Ryo Ueda's illustration and the card's strategic depth makes Umbreon δ a memorable addition to any Pokémon card collection.
