Aerodactyl

Description

Card number 1 in the 2006 Pokémon Legend Maker set, Aerodactyl is a Stage 1 Colorless Pokémon that evolves from Mysterious Fossil. Designed by Hajime Kusajima, this collectible card is identified by the set code LM and carries a Holo Rare status with a reverse holo treatment. From a gameplay perspective, Aerodactyl boasts 70 HP and features the ability Reactive Protection. This mechanic reduces damage taken by 10 for each React Energy attached to the Pokémon, offering a strategic layer for defensive playstyles. Its attacks include Colorless Power Blow, which deals 10 damage plus 10 additional damage for each Energy attached, and Speed Stroke, a powerful 40-damage move that prevents all effects and damage from opponent attacks during their next turn. This combination of abilities makes the card a notable piece for enthusiasts who appreciate the unique mechanics introduced during this period of the trading card game. Owning a copy of this card allows collectors to engage with the rich lore surrounding Aerodactyl, a prehistoric Pokémon known for its speed and fossil origins. The reverse holo variant adds visual appeal, distinguishing it from standard foil treatments and making it a desirable addition for those building comprehensive sets or focusing on specific Pokémon types. Whether used for nostalgic collecting or as part of a broader investment in Pokémon memorabilia, this card represents a tangible piece of the franchise's legacy.
