Description
Venomoth #29 from the 1999 Jungle set is a notable piece for enthusiasts of the original Pokemon TCG era. Designed by Ken Sugimori, this rare card represents a key evolution in the Bug-type lineage, evolving from Venonat. With 70 HP, it serves as a solid defensive option in the Grass type category. The card's unique Shift ability allows players to change its type to match any other Pokémon in play, offering strategic flexibility that was innovative for the time. Its primary attack, Venom Powder, inflicts both confusion and poison status conditions on the opponent, making it a versatile threat in battle scenarios. Collectors often seek this card to complete the Jungle base set, appreciating its historical significance in the franchise's early card design. The Jungle expansion remains a cornerstone for vintage collectors, and Venomoth stands out as a memorable entry in this iconic release. Its distinct mechanics and status as a rare card make it a valuable addition to any serious collection.
