Tropius δ

Description

Designed by Mitsuhiro Arita, this card is part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's early 2000s expansion history, offering collectors a glimpse into the era's diverse typological experiments. The card features the Basic Pokémon with the Tropical Heal ability, which allows players to remove Special Conditions, Imprison markers, and Shock-wave markers from Tropius when it is placed on the Bench. Its primary attack, Metal Grind, deals 10 damage multiplied by the amount of Energy attached to Tropius, providing a scalable damage output that rewards strategic resource management. For enthusiasts of the Dragon Frontiers collection, this Reverse Holo finish adds a unique visual layer to the catalog, making it a notable entry for those completing the set. The card's retreat cost of 1 ensures flexibility in gameplay positioning, while its Pokédex number 357 links it to the broader franchise lore. Collectors often seek this treatment for its aesthetic appeal and its role in the set's diversity.
