Pupitar δ

Description

The Pokémon Dragon Frontiers expansion, released in 2006, continues to attract dedicated collectors who appreciate the distinct art style and gameplay mechanics of the mid-2000s era. Among the cards in this set, number 59 stands out as a recognizable Stage 1 Evolution. Pupitar δ is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 70 HP, evolving from Larvitar and serving as a bridge to its final form, Tyranitar. For collectors focusing on complete sets or specific Pokémon families, this card is an essential component of the Dragon Frontiers checklist. The reverse holo finish adds a tactile and visual layer to this common rarity card, distinguishing it from the standard base versions while maintaining its accessibility for builders at all levels. The card features artwork by Kouki Saitou, whose illustrations helped define the aesthetic of the Generation 3 era. In terms of gameplay, Pupitar offers the Lightning attack, Hyper Beam. This attack allows the player to flip a coin; if heads, they discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon, dealing 20 damage. This mechanic provides a strategic option for disrupting opponent strategies rather than dealing direct damage. With a modest retreat cost of 1, the Pokémon can be moved to the bench relatively easily, adding flexibility to deck construction. Whether you are completing a full set collection or hunting for specific Pokémon in your favorite type, the Dragon Frontiers set offers a nostalgic journey through the history of the trading card game. Pupitar remains a beloved figure in the franchise, and its presence in this 2006 release is celebrated by fans who value the depth and complexity of older card designs.
