Rattata

Description

The 2016 Pokémon Evolutions Rattata #66 Reverse Holo card represents a pivotal moment in trading card history, bridging the gap between the franchise's early legacy and its modern resurgence. Released as part of the Pokémon Evolutions series, this release honors the original Kanto region Pokémon with a design that pays homage to the earliest printings while updating them for contemporary standards. Rattata, listed as Pokédex Number 19, serves as a fundamental Basic Colorless Pokémon within the game, offering collectors a piece of the franchise's foundational lore. Designed by Mitsuhiro Arita, this card features a reverse holo finish that adds visual depth to the collectible without altering its core gameplay mechanics. As a Basic stage Pokémon with 40 HP, Rattata is often seen as a starter unit in many strategies, though its true value to collectors lies in its nostalgic appeal and connection to the Evolutions set's celebration of the franchise's roots. The card’s ability, Mischievous Fang, allows players to discard all Pokémon Tool cards attached to their opponent's Active Pokémon when Rattata is played from the hand onto the Bench, adding a layer of strategic interaction that makes it memorable for both gameplay and collecting. Collectors frequently target this card to complete sets or as a standalone addition to their Classic Pokémon TCG collections. Whether you are a long-time fan looking to revisit the origins of Pokémon or a new collector entering the hobby, this card provides a tangible connection to the series' enduring legacy. The combination of Mitsuhiro Arita’s artistry and the nostalgic Evolutions theme makes this product for any serious collection.
