Buizel

Description

Released in 2007 as part of the Pokémon Diamond & Pearl base set, card number 72 features Buizel, a Water-type Pokémon. This Reverse Holo common is a staple for enthusiasts building out the DP set. The card identifies Buizel as a Basic stage creature with 60 Hit Points, reflecting its role in the early generations of the Trading Card Game. The design highlights Buizel’s aquatic nature, noting its flotation sac that allows it to float with its head out of the water. This biological detail is woven into the card’s gameplay mechanics. Buizel possesses an attack called Water Splash About 10, which offers a strategic advantage based on energy comparison. If Buizel has less Energy attached than the defending Pokémon, the attack deals 10 damage plus an additional 10 damage. This conditional effect makes the card an interesting piece for understanding the early mechanics of the Diamond & Pearl expansion. For collectors, the Reverse Holo finish provides a distinct visual appeal that contrasts with the common foil treatment. Designed by Ken Sugimori, this card remains a recognizable piece of Pokémon history. It serves as a key entry point for those looking to complete the 2007 Diamond & Pearl collection or those who appreciate the nostalgic design language of that specific era. The retreat cost of one Energy makes it flexible in early game scenarios, adding to its historical relevance in competitive play during its print run. Whether you are looking to fill a gap in your Diamond & Pearl binder or simply want to own a piece of Pokémon TCG history, this Buizel Reverse Holo represents the charm and strategy of the franchise's second major expansion.
