Sabrina's Gastly

Description

Released in 2000 as part of the Pokémon Gym Challenge expansion, Sabrina's Gastly (#96) represents a foundational entry for collectors of the early Trading Card Game era. This Basic Psychic-type card is valued for its iconic character association and the distinctive art style of Ken Sugimori, who defined the visual identity of the franchise during this period. As a common rarity card, it serves as an accessible and essential piece for enthusiasts building comprehensive Gym Challenge collections or focusing on the Psychic type. In terms of gameplay, this card offers strategic depth typical of early Pokémon TCG mechanics. With 30 HP, Sabrina's Gastly utilizes two distinct attacks that challenge opponents to manage board state carefully. Psychic Lick requires a coin flip to potentially Paralyze the Defending Pokémon, introducing an element of randomness that can shift momentum. Alternatively, Psychic Fade Out allows players to retrieve Sabrina's Gastly and all attached Energy cards back to their hand, though this requires discarding other attached cards. This dual-attack structure provides flexibility in both offensive pressure and resource recovery. The card’s placement at number 96 places it in the latter half of the base set, offering a straightforward acquisition target for set completists. Its status as a common card means it is widely available in various conditions, making it a practical choice for budget-conscious hobbyists. Whether you are assembling a nostalgic display or looking to round out a specific subset, Sabrina's Gastly remains a recognizable and enduring part of Pokémon TCG history.
