Description
Released in 1999 as part of the Jungle expansion, this Victreebel card (number 30) represents a classic Stage 2 Grass-type Pokémon from the original Trading Card Game. Designed by Ken Sugimori, the card features a base of 80 HP and serves as the final evolution of Weepinbell. Collectors appreciate this card for its nostalgic connection to the early days of the Pokémon franchise, a period that established the foundation for the modern TCG hobby. In terms of gameplay mechanics, Victreebel offers strategic utility through its Grass Lure attack, which allows a player to switch an opponent's Benched Pokémon to the Active spot if any are present. Its secondary attack, Acid, deals 20 damage and includes a coin flip condition that can prevent the Defending Pokémon from retreating the following turn, adding a layer of tactical depth to matches. The card requires a retreat cost of two colorless energy, balancing its offensive potential. For those building comprehensive collections or seeking to complete the Jungle series, this Victreebel card is a key component.
