Durant

Description

This iteration showcases the Reverse Holo finish, a treatment that has long been favored by collectors for its shimmering, reflective aesthetic that stands out during play and display. As a Metal-type Basic Pokémon, Durant serves as a foundational piece for decks focused on metal synergy and resource control. Designed by Midori Harada, this card captures the essence of the Bug/Rock-like insectoid creature with a HP of 70. Its gameplay mechanics are particularly interesting for strategic builders. The Colorless Chip Off attack allows players to discard random cards from an opponent's hand, providing a powerful disruption tool that forces opponents to manage their resources carefully. Alternatively, the MetalColorless X-Scissor attack offers damage potential that scales with coin flips, adding an element of chance to aggressive plays. For completists, obtaining this Reverse Holo variant is a key objective when building a full Flashfire collection. The card’s retreat cost of just one energy makes it highly mobile on the battlefield, allowing it to quickly switch out to protect more valuable Pokémon or attack with a different attacker. Whether you are drawn to its tactical utility in the TCG or its nostalgic appeal as a staple from the 2014 era, this Durant card remains a significant entry in the Pokémon Trading Card Game history. Collectors often seek out these Reverse Holo cards not just for their visual appeal but for their historical context within the Flashfire set. As the Pokémon TCG continues to evolve, cards like this one serve as reminders of the strategic depth and creative design that have defined the game for decades. Adding this card to your portfolio supports the broader community of collectors who value both the gameplay history and the physical artifact of the TCG.
