Ivysaur

Description

At the heart of this set is Ivysaur, card number 35, a Stage 1 Grass-type Pokémon that evolved from Bulbasaur. This release features the Reverse Holo treatment, offering collectors a shimmering alternative to the standard foil finishes popular in the early 2000s. Designed by Atsuko Nishida, the card captures the essence of the character with a HP of 80 and a retreat cost of 1. For players and collectors alike, the gameplay mechanics remain a key point of interest. Ivysaur utilizes the Colorless Poison Seed attack to inflict poison on the defending Pokémon, alongside the versatile Razor Leaf attack dealing 50 damage. This combination makes it a functional piece for deck building during its era. For investors in the Pokémon TCG, cards from the FireRed & LeafGreen set hold significant historical value as they reflect the franchise's transition into the Game Boy Advance era. The Reverse Holo variant of Ivysaur #35 is particularly sought after by set builders looking to complete their collection with distinct finishes. Whether you are focusing on completing the base set or acquiring cards for nostalgic reasons, this product represents a solid addition to any serious collection of Pokémon memorabilia.
