Description
Metapod card number 4 is a foundational Stage 1 Grass-type entry from the 2016 Pokémon Evolutions release, offering a nostalgic look at the franchise's early mechanics. Designed by legendary artist Ken Sugimori, this Uncommon card features the classic Pokédex number 11 and retains the original HP value of 70. For collectors building the Evolutions subset, this card serves as a key piece in understanding the evolutionary line that begins with Caterpie. The card's design highlights Metapod's defensive nature, utilizing the Stiffen attack to reduce incoming damage and the Stun Spore move to potentially paralyze opponents. This strategic depth makes it a favorite among players who appreciate the tactical simplicity of the original generations. Collectors often seek out complete runs of the Evolutions series to honor the franchise's history, making Metapod #4 a significant addition to any focused collection. The card's straightforward layout and recognizable subject make it an accessible yet valuable component for enthusiasts tracing the evolution of Pokémon card design.
