Iron Bundle

Description

Iron Bundle is a Basic Water-type Pokémon card found in the 2023 Paradox Rift trading card game set, designated as card number 056/182 with an Uncommon rarity. This card, illustrated by Oswaldo KATO, introduces a strategic mechanic that rewards players for maintaining board presence rather than immediate aggression. The Pokémon possesses 100 HP and carries the Hyper Blower ability, which activates once per turn if Iron Bundle is positioned on the Bench. This ability allows the player to force the opponent to switch their Active Pokémon to the Bench, though executing this move requires discarding Iron Bundle and all attached cards. This high-risk, high-reward dynamic makes the card a compelling inclusion for decks focused on disruption and resource management. In addition to its ability, Iron Bundle offers the Refrigerated Stream attack, dealing 80 damage for a cost of one Water and two Colorless energy. A notable restriction on this attack prevents Evolution Pokémon from attacking during the opponent's next turn, further emphasizing its role in controlling the flow of the match. The card carries a Retreat Cost of 1, making it relatively easy to maneuver into position when needed. As part of the SV4 set, it features the Regulation Mark G, ensuring it remains a valid piece for collectors and players navigating the current competitive landscape. The flavor text surrounding this mysterious Pokémon references old books and rare sightings, adding a layer of intrigue to its design. For collectors of the Paradox Rift series, this card represents a unique intersection of utility and lore.
