Mawile

Description

Card number 71 in the 2022 Pokémon Lost Origin expansion, Mawile is a Basic Psychic-type Pokémon trading card designed by kurumitsu. As a common rarity card within the set, it offers collectors a foundational piece for building complete collections of the Lost Origin series. The card features a Pokédex number of 303 and carries the Regulation Mark F, identifying it within the specific printing cycle of this release. The card’s design centers on Mawile’s deceptive nature, capturing its ability to lure opponents into a false sense of security. With 90 HP and a modest retreat cost of one colorless energy, it balances survivability with mobility. The primary strategic element lies in its attack, Colorless Tempting Trap. This move imposes a significant restriction on the opponent by preventing the Defending Pokémon from retreating during their next turn. Simultaneously, it sets up a powerful follow-up, dealing an additional 90 damage during the user's subsequent turn. This dual effect makes Mawile a compelling choice for players looking to control the board state and maximize damage output. Mawile represents the core identity of the set, offering a straightforward yet impactful card that appeals to both casual players and serious set builders. Its status as a common card makes it an accessible entry point for those new to the Lost Origin expansion or those looking to fill gaps in their existing collections. The card’s enduring appeal comes from its reliable mechanics and the iconic status of the Pokémon itself within the franchise. Whether you are hunting for specific set requirements or simply appreciate the strategic depth of the Psychic type, this card remains a staple in the Lost Origin catalog.
