Dewott

Description

The Dewott #5 card from the 2012 McDonald's Collection stands as a distinct chapter in Pokémon trading card game history, blending fast-food promotion with strategic gameplay. Released in 2012, this holofoil variant offers collectors a tangible connection to a specific promotional era, featuring the Water-type Pokémon that evolves from Oshawott. Designed by Masakazu Fukuda, the card presents Dewott with 90 hit points, balancing offensive capability with a modest retreat cost of one Colorless energy. In terms of mechanics, Dewott brings utility to the deck with two primary attacks. The Water Gun attack deals 30 damage for two Colorless energy, providing a reliable early-game option. For more significant impact, the Razor Shell attack requires two Water and one Colorless energy, dealing 40 damage with a coin flip that can add an extra 20 damage if successful. This risk-reward dynamic makes the card a thoughtful choice for players building Water-centric strategies. Collectors often appreciate the McDonald's Collection for its unique distribution method and the nostalgia it evokes, making cards like this Dewott release particularly interesting for those tracking promotional sets. The holo finish adds visual appeal, distinguishing this card from its non-holo counterparts within the same series.
