Lickitung δ

Description

This card, numbered 19 in the series, features a rare reverse holo finish that distinguishes it within the collection. Designed by Masakazu Fukuda, the card captures the unique identity of the δ variant, appealing to collectors who appreciate the alternate typings and specialized mechanics found in this era of the Trading Card Game. As a Basic Pokémon, Lickitung δ enters play immediately, boasting 60 HP and a modest retreat cost of one colorless energy. The card’s strategic value lies in its specialized attacks. "Colorless Lap Up" allows players to draw two cards, providing essential card advantage during the early stages of a match. The more notable attack, "Psychic Delta Mind," introduces a unique mechanical interaction: if the target Pokémon also bears the δ symbol, the attacker can place three damage counters instead of one. This targeted damage potential makes the card a fascinating piece for enthusiasts of the Dragon Frontiers subset and those interested in the broader δ mythos. Collectors often seek out reverse holo cards for their visual appeal and the distinct foil treatment that contrasts with the standard card background. The Dragon Frontiers expansion, released in 2006, remains a notable chapter in Pokémon TCG history for its experimental themes and unique Pokémon designs. Acquiring this Lickitung δ card provides a tangible connection to this period of the game. Whether you are building a comprehensive set of Dragon Frontiers cards or focusing on rare reverse holos, this card represents a significant addition to any serious collection.
