Tadbulb

Description

Tadbulb is a Basic Lightning Pokémon featured in the 2023 Obsidian Flames expansion, identified by card number 74. Designed by artist kirisAki, this card carries the SV3 set code and Regulation Mark G, marking it as part of the modern standard format. With 50 HP, Tadbulb serves as a foundational support unit rather than a primary attacker, allowing trainers to build flexible decks that prioritize resource management. The card’s strategic value lies in its first attack, Lightning Energize. This ability allows players to attach a Basic Lightning Energy card from their discard pile to Tadbulb. This mechanic is particularly useful for recovering from energy disadvantage, ensuring that your active Pokémon can continue attacking without needing to draw additional energy cards. The second attack, Lightning Ball, deals 30 damage for two Colorless and one Lightning Energy, providing a reliable damage output when the board state requires it. Tadbulb’s retreat cost is just one Colorless Energy, making it easy to switch out or bench when necessary. Collectors appreciate Tadbulb for its clean design and functional gameplay within the Obsidian Flames set. The card’s Pokédex number is 938, connecting it to the broader Pokémon universe where Tadbulb is known for shaking its tail to generate electricity. For investors and hobbyists, this card represents a key piece of the 2023 Pokémon TCG landscape. Its common rarity makes it an accessible entry point for new players while remaining a staple for seasoned collectors completing their Obsidian Flames collection. The straightforward mechanics and iconic Pokémon design ensure that Tadbulb remains a relevant and sought-after card in the trading card market.
