Rufflet

Description

Released in 2011 as part of the Emerging Powers expansion, this Pokémon trading card features Rufflet as a Basic Stage creature with 60 Hit Points. Designed by Naoyo Kimura, the card belongs to the Colorless energy type and is cataloged as number 87 in the set, identified by the code EPO. The gameplay mechanics center on the Claw attack, which deals 30 damage but includes a coin flip risk that renders the attack ineffective on tails. This risk-reward dynamic makes the card a strategic consideration for players navigating the meta of that era. For hobbyists building collections, this product represents a tangible piece of TCG history, bridging the gap between the Unova region's introduction and subsequent metagame shifts. Whether for completing a set or studying the design evolution of early 2010s Pokémon cards, this product offers a direct look at a key component of the Emerging Powers era.
