Description
Classified as a Rare, this Metal-type Basic Pokémon offers collectors a tangible piece of the franchise's mid-2000s design era. Skarmory features a Pokédex number of 227 and carries 70 HP, making it a functional entry in gameplay scenarios. The card's strategic value lies in its ability, Metallic Lift, which reduces the Retreat Cost to 0 if any Metal Energy is attached. For offensive play, Skarmory utilizes the Colorless Spearhead attack to draw a card, or the ColorlessColorless Heavy Metal 10+ attack, which flips a coin for each attached Metal Energy to deal 10 plus 20 additional damage for each heads. Illustrated by Kouki Saitou under the DX set code, this card represents a specific snapshot of the Pokémon TCG's evolution. Collectors seeking to complete the Deoxys set or those who appreciate the Metal type's mechanical depth often prioritize this release. It serves as a notable component for those building themed collections or exploring the diverse strategies available in the 2005 era.
