Description
Released in 2003 as the lead card for the Pokémon Dragon expansion, Absol (#1 DR) represents a key entry for collectors of early 2000s trading card game products. This Darkness-type Basic Pokémon features 70 HP and a retreat cost of 1, designed by Naoyo Kimura. The card’s abilities offer strategic depth: Darkness Bad News allows players to reduce an opponent's hand size if they hold six or more cards, while DarknessColorless Prize Count deals increased damage when the player has more Prize cards remaining than their opponent. As a Holo Rare with reverse holo treatment, this product appeals to those building complete sets or seeking specific rarity variants from the Dragon subset. The reverse holo finish provides a distinct visual alternative to traditional foil treatments, making it a notable piece for enthusiasts of the Pokémon TCG's 2003 era.
