Onix

Description

The Onix Reverse Holo card, designated as number 56 in the 2010 Pokémon HS Unleashed expansion, offers collectors a distinct take on the iconic Rock Snake Pokémon. Crafted by artist MAHOU, this card presents the Fighting-type Pokémon with 90 Hit Points, appealing to fans of the creature's rugged design and strategic gameplay potential. As a Basic stage card, it enters play immediately, providing a reliable foundation for building decks centered around resource management and damage control. The card’s standout feature is its ability, Energy Healer, which allows players to remove damage counters from Onix whenever they attach an Energy card from their hand. This mechanic creates a unique defensive dynamic, rewarding careful resource allocation and making Onix a resilient presence on the battlefield. Its attack, Boundless Power, deals 80 damage but requires a rest turn, balancing its offensive output with strategic timing. The four-color retreat cost further emphasizes its role as a tank-like Pokémon designed to absorb hits rather than maneuver quickly. For collectors, the HS Unleashed set remains a significant part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game history, representing the late 2000s era of design and mechanics. The Reverse Holo finish adds a shimmering aesthetic that distinguishes this card from its common counterparts, making it a visually appealing addition to any collection. Whether you are assembling a complete set or seeking specific cards for gameplay, Onix #56 provides a blend of nostalgic charm and functional utility. Its enduring popularity among fans of the Pokémon franchise ensures that this card remains a sought-after item for both casual hobbyists and serious investors in the TCG market.
