Description
This product is the Venusaur reverse holo card, designated as number 68 in the Expedition Base Set released in 2002. As a Stage 2 Pokémon, Venusaur represents the final evolution of Ivysaur within the Grass type category. The card features a Reverse Holo finish, which provides a distinctive textured appearance compared to standard foil treatments, making it a favorite among set builders and parallel collectors. Designed by Shin-ichi Yoshikawa, this card carries 100 HP and serves as a strategic piece for enthusiasts of the Pokémon trading card game. Its Harvest Bounty ability allows players to attach an additional Energy card when attaching energy during their turn, enhancing resource management. The Body Slam attack deals 40 damage and flips a coin to potentially paralyze the defending Pokémon, offering both offensive power and utility. For collectors focusing on the Expedition Base Set, this card number is a critical component for completing the full roster. The combination of the 2002 release era, the popular Grass type, and the reverse holo treatment makes this product a notable entry for those building comprehensive collections of the EX series. Whether you are hunting for specific card numbers or completing the Expedition expansion, this Venusaur card holds a distinct place in the product line.
