Description
The Pokémon Legends Awakened Swellow Reverse Holo card, numbered 73, represents a distinct entry in the 2008 Legends Awakened set. This Stage 1 Pokémon, which evolves from Taillow, brings a unique strategic dynamic to the trading card game with its Colorless typing and 80 HP. Collectors often seek this card for its gameplay utility and the distinctive reverse holo treatment that sets it apart within the set's design. Swellow’s ability, Big Wing, allows the Pokémon to retreat without energy costs if it has no Energy attached, offering flexibility during matches. Its primary attack, Mach Descent, deals 30 damage, or 60 if Swellow was on the Bench during the previous turn, making it a versatile choice for players building balanced decks. The card’s flavor text highlights its predatory nature, noting how it circles the sky to dive steeply for prey. For enthusiasts of the Pokémon TCG, this release from 2008 remains a notable piece of the franchise's history. Whether you are completing a set or looking for a reliable card for your collection, the Swellow Reverse Holo #73 offers both nostalgic value and functional appeal. ## Sources
