Description
The Neo Genesis Seadra, identified as card number 48, was released in 2000 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon evolves from Horsea and holds Pokédex number 117. Designed by Shin-ichi Yoshida, the card is classified as an Uncommon rarity within the Neo Genesis set. Seadra brings distinct strategic value to the game with its 70 HP and a modest retreat cost of 1. Its Water Bubble attack allows players to flip a coin; if successful, it paralyzes the Defending Pokémon, offering a tactical advantage in battle. The WaterWater Mud Splash attack deals 30 damage and provides additional utility by potentially striking a Benched Pokémon if the coin flip favors the user. For collectors, the Neo Genesis Seadra represents a foundational piece of early Pokémon TCG history. Its straightforward design and reliable abilities make it a staple for those building classic decks or completing the Neo Genesis collection. Whether you are a long-time fan or new to the hobby, this card captures the essence of the era's gameplay and artistry.
