Komala

Description

The Komala Reverse Holo card, identified as card number 114, originates from the 2017 Pokémon TCG Guardians Rising expansion. Designed by Kouki Saitou, this Uncommon card is a staple for trainers seeking to complete the base set or build specific decks around sleep mechanics. The card depicts the Colorless-type Pokémon with its characteristic sleepy demeanor, bringing the lore of a creature born asleep and dying asleep to the battlefield. Gameplay-wise, Komala offers a unique strategic twist through its Comatose Ability. As long as it remains your Active Pokémon, any Energy attached from your hand automatically puts Komala to Sleep. This sets up its signature attack, Hypno Roll, which deals 100 damage but can only be used if Komala is already Asleep. If it is not Asleep, the attack does nothing, making the management of its sleep state a key tactical decision. With a Retreat Cost of 2, trainers must carefully consider when to switch it out or keep it in play to maximize its offensive potential. Collectors value this Reverse Holo finish for its distinctive shimmering design that enhances the visual appeal of the card without altering its rarity. As part of the Guardians Rising series, Komala represents a fun and interactive element of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, appealing to both competitive players who enjoy status condition strategies and casual collectors who appreciate the character's charm. This card serves as an excellent addition to any Pokémon collection, offering both nostalgic value and unique gameplay dynamics.
