Tadbulb

Description

Designed by Saya Tsuruta, this Common rarity card features the Reverse Holo finish, a treatment that applies a shimmering foil pattern across the entire card surface rather than just the illustration frame. This finish is particularly popular among enthusiasts who appreciate the tactile and visual contrast it provides when sorted into collection binders or storage boxes. Within the game mechanics, Tadbulb is a Basic Pokémon with 60 HP, making it a foundational piece for early-game strategies. Its Lightning typing allows it to interact effectively with other Electric-type cards in the SV3 set code. The card’s attack, Thunder Jolt, deals 40 damage but requires the player to manage the self-damage trade-off, adding a layer of strategic depth to its gameplay utility. For hobbyists building decks based on the 2023 Obsidian Flames era, this card represents the standard availability of the species within that specific print run. Collectors often seek out the Reverse Holo variant of Tadbulb not just for its competitive role, but for its aesthetic contribution to a complete set. The shimmering effect catches the light differently than standard foil treatments, offering a distinct display quality for those curating their Obsidian Flames inventory. Whether you are focused on completing the SV3 set, acquiring specific artist works by Saya Tsuruta, or building a Lightning-type collection, this card provides the essential identity of the 938 Pokédex entry in a format that honors the 2023 release's design language.
