Lombre

Description

Released in 2005 as part of the Deoxys expansion, this Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Lombre, identified by the set code DX and card number 33. Designed by Atsuko Nishida, the card represents a pivotal evolution stage from Lotad, bringing a Water typing to the deck. As a Stage 1 Pokémon with 70 HP, it serves as a functional backbone for players seeking water-based strategies. The card introduces the Aqua Lift ability, which allows trainers to reduce the retreat cost to zero if any Water Energy is attached, providing crucial flexibility during turns. Its primary attack, Ambush, utilizes a coin flip mechanic to potentially deal 40 damage, offering a risk-reward dynamic that appeals to strategic collectors. For those building a complete collection of the Deoxys set, this Uncommon rarity card is a necessary component to achieve full set completion. Whether you are a nostalgic player returning to the game or a new collector exploring the early 2000s era, this card represents a tangible piece of Pokémon TCG history.
