Flaaffy

Description

The 2002 Pokémon Expedition Base Set established a distinct era for collectors, and card number 77, Flaaffy, remains a notable entry for enthusiasts of the Lightning type. As a Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from Mareep, this card captures the middle stage of a familiar evolutionary line, offering a specific target for builders focusing on complete family sets or thematic collections. Designed by Mitsuhiro Arita, the card carries an Uncommon rarity status within the set, identified by the EX set code. Collectors often seek out these cards to round out their base set inventory or to complete specific subset requirements. The card’s gameplay identity centers on its two distinct moves: Headbutt, which deals 20 damage for two Colorless energy, and Thunder Jolt, which deals 50 damage for one Lightning and one Colorless energy but includes a risk mechanic involving a coin flip that can cause self-damage on tails. Whether you are tracking down cards for nostalgic reasons or looking to acquire key pieces for competitive or casual play, this card represents a solid addition to any Pokémon Trading Card Game collection. The clear typography and structured layout typical of the 2002 release make it easily identifiable and highly collectible for those who appreciate the design evolution of the franchise during the early 2000s.
