Description
The Pokémon HS—Triumphant Wailord #31 card represents a significant entry in the 2010 expansion, showcasing the massive Water-type Pokémon evolved from Wailmer. As a Stage 1 creature with 180 Hit Points, this card appeals to trainers who appreciate high-HP defenders within the TCG framework. Designed by Hajime Kusajima, the release captures the essence of Wailmer's evolution into the largest identified Pokémon, a trait noted in its Pokédex entry as number 321. The card features two distinct attacks: Underwater Dive, which allows players to remove damage counters by flipping coins, and Swallow Up 50+, a conditional attack that deals extra damage if the opponent’s Pokémon has lower HP. These mechanics highlight the tactical versatility expected from The curated catalog of vintage TCG cards. For investors and hobbyists alike, understanding the interaction between HP thresholds and attack conditions is key to appreciating the card’s design. This product focuses on the canonical attributes of the HS—Triumphant subset, providing essential context for those completing their set or building themed decks. By examining the specific card number and set code (TM), collectors can verify authenticity and track their progress through the 2010 release. Whether you are a long-time veteran or new to the hobby, this card offers a glimpse into the strategic evolution of the Pokémon Trading Card Game during this era.
