Electabuzz

Description

The 2016 Pokémon Evolutions release brings the classic Electabuzz to life as card number 41 in the Evolutions set. This Reverse Holo finish adds a shimmering texture to the card, making it a visually distinct addition to any Pokémon Trading Card Game collection. Designed by renowned artist Ken Sugimori, the card captures the electric nature of the character with a sleek, reflective background that catches the light. As a Basic Pokémon, Electabuzz is ready to play from the start of the game. With 70 HP and Lightning energy type, it provides a solid foundation for decks focusing on speed and paralysis strategies. The card features two attacks: Lightning Thunder Shock, which deals 10 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the opponent’s Active Pokémon, and Lightning Thunder Punch, which deals 30 damage plus an additional 10 if a coin flip is heads, though tails results in 10 self-damage. This risk-reward mechanic adds strategic depth to gameplay. Collectors value this card for its nostalgic appeal and high-quality finish. Electabuzz’s role in the Pokédex as a creature that feeds on strong electricity is subtly hinted at in the card’s flavor text, connecting gameplay to lore. Whether you are building a competitive deck or simply enjoying the artistry of Ken Sugimori’s work, this card offers a blend of nostalgia and function. The Reverse Holo variant is particularly sought after for its aesthetic appeal, making it a favorite among those who appreciate the visual details of the TCG. For investors and hobbyists alike, the 2016 Evolutions set represents a key era in Pokémon card collecting, bridging the gap between vintage nostalgia and modern production standards.
