Mawile

Description

As a Basic Psychic-type Pokémon, this card features 90 Hit Points and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy, making it a manageable addition to any deck construction. The reverse holo treatment provides a shimmering aesthetic that distinguishes this common rarity from its standard counterparts, appealing to those who appreciate the visual variety found within the FST expansion. Designed by Kouki Saitou, the card captures the essence of Mawile’s steel horns, which serve as both its primary weapons and a defining physical trait. The gameplay mechanics focus on disruption rather than raw damage; the Psychic Chomp attack allows players to increase the opponent's costs. Specifically, during the opponent's next turn, their Defending Pokémon's attacks cost more Colorless energy, and its Retreat Cost is increased by one. This makes the card a valuable tool for controlling the pace of the game, forcing opponents to manage their resources more carefully. For collectors, this release serves as a key entry point for those building out the Fusion Strike set. The combination of the reverse holo finish and the strategic utility of the attack makes it a sought-after piece for enthusiasts of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Whether you are looking to complete your collection or add a versatile Pokémon to your collection, this card offers a blend of visual appeal and functional design that has defined the series since its release.
