Celebi ◇

Description

Celebi appears as card number 19 in Pokémon’s 2018 Lost Thunder expansion, distinguished by its Rare Prism Star treatment. This Basic Grass-type Pokémon features 90 HP and offers strategic flexibility through its Colorless Time Distortion attack. This ability allows players to devolve multiple Benched Pokémon simultaneously, returning their Evolution cards directly to the hand for reuse. The second attack, Grass Leech Seed, deals 20 damage while healing Celebi for 20 damage, enhancing its sustainability during gameplay. Designed by Masakazu Fukuda, this card captures the mythical creature’s connection to time travel, aligning with the lore that it only appears during peaceful times. Collectors often seek this print for its distinctive holographic finish, which sets it apart from standard rare variants in the set. The Prism Star mechanic adds a unique visual layer to the Lost Thunder collection, making it a notable addition for those building specialized decks or completing set collections. Understanding the mechanics of this card helps collectors appreciate its role within the broader Pokémon Trading Card Game ecosystem.
