Azelf

Description

Card number 4 in the Mysterious Treasures expansion, Azelf represents the legendary entity known as the Being of Willpower. Released in 2007 by Pokémon, this Holo Rare card captures the essence of the Sinnoh region's legendary beasts. As a Basic Psychic-type with 60 HP, Azelf offers distinct utility for collectors and players alike. In gameplay, Azelf is defined by its Downer Material ability. This effect allows the controller to increase the retreat cost of opponent's Basic Pokémon if Uxie and Mesprit are also in play, creating strategic board control. Its attack, Psychic Bind Pulse, deals 10 damage while preventing the opponent from attaching Special Energy cards during their next turn. This combination of ability and attack makes it a notable piece for those interested in the lore of the Lake Guardians. Azelf stands out as a key figure within this series, bridging the narrative gap between earlier generations and the Sinnoh saga. The Holo Rare finish adds a tactile dimension to the collectible, appealing to those who value both aesthetic appeal and mechanical depth. Whether you are building a Sinnoh Legendary collection or seeking to complete the Mysterious Treasures base set, this card serves as an essential component. Its status as a Holo Rare ensures it holds a prominent place in any organized display.
