Description
The 2001 Pokémon Neo Revelation Suicune #27 card represents a classic entry in the early trading card game landscape, designed by Naoyo Kimura. As a Basic Pokémon with 60 HP, this Water-type creature holds a distinct place in the Neo Revelation series, identified by the set code N3. Collectors often seek this card for its nostalgic value and its role as a foundational piece in early deck-building strategies. Suicune’s gameplay mechanics offer unique tactical options for players. Its signature ability, Legendary Body, provides a strategic advantage by protecting the Pokémon and its attached Energy cards from the effects of Trainer cards, with the exception of Stadium cards. This defensive utility allows for more stable board presence during matches. Additionally, the card features the Crystal Wave attack, which deals 30 base damage. The attack includes a coin flip mechanic: heads increases damage by 10, while tails triggers a secondary effect that can impact the opponent's Benched Pokémon. The card’s design and mechanics reflect the creative direction of the era, appealing to both long-time fans and new collectors interested in the history of the franchise. With its clear illustration and functional gameplay text, this card remains a staple for those building collections centered on the Neo period. The combination of its rare status and its specific abilities makes it a notable item for completionists and strategists alike. Whether you are looking to complete a full Neo Revelation set or simply appreciate the artistry of Naoyo Kimura, this Suicune card offers a tangible connection to the early days of the Pokémon TCG. For those interested in the broader context, the Neo Revelation series expanded the world of the trading card game with new Pokémon and abilities. Suicune #27 stands out as a key representative of this expansion, embodying the power and mystery associated with legendary beings. Its continued relevance in collector circles speaks to the enduring appeal of the franchise and the quality of its early releases.

Ability: Legendary Body
As long as Suicune is your Active Pokémon, Suicune and Energy cards attached to it aren't affected by effects from Trainer cards other than Stadium cards. As long as this Power is active, discard any Trainer cards attached to Suicune. (This power works even if Suicune is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.)
Attack: Crystal Wave (30+)
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage. If tails, this attack does 30 damage and, if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, he or she chooses 1 of them and switches it with the Defending Pokémon. (Do the damage before switching the Pokémon.)
This Pokémon races across the land. It is said that north winds will somehow blow whenever it appears.
