Forretress

Description

The Pokémon HS—Undaunted Forretress card (number 13) represents a strategic Metal-type asset for collectors building their 2010-era TCG libraries. As a Stage 1 evolution from Pineco, this rare card brings 80 HP to the battlefield, offering a durable option for decks focused on defensive positioning and area control. Designed by Kagemaru Himeno, the card captures the essence of the armored bug Pokémon within the distinct visual style of the Undaunted expansion. Forretress is particularly interesting for its unique attack options. The Metal Spike Spread attack deals 10 damage to each of the opponent's Pokémon, making it an effective tool for clearing the bench without triggering Weakness or Resistance for those specific targets. Meanwhile, the MetalColorless Gyro Ball attack provides tactical flexibility by allowing the player to switch Forretress with a Benched Pokémon, forcing the opponent to also rearrange their defensive lineup. This dual nature of damage distribution and forced movement makes the card a memorable piece of the HS—Undaunted set. Collectors often seek out this card for its complete evolution line representation or its specific gameplay utility. The HS—Undaunted Forretress card remains a staple for enthusiasts who appreciate the mechanical depth of the Pokémon Trading Card Game during this period. Whether you are completing a set run or hunting for specific Pokémon types, this card adds significant value to any collection.
