Suicune

Description

The Pokémon Phantasmal Flames expansion brings the legendary Water-type Suicune to the TCG in card number 26. Designed by Takeshi Nakamura, this reverse holo variant captures the majestic aura of the entity known for instantly purifying murky waters. As a Basic stage card with 130 HP, it offers a solid foundation for deck building, balancing offensive potential with a manageable retreat cost of two energy. Suicune’s unique ability, Water Crystal Fall, provides strategic depth for players. The attack deals 30 damage by default, but if the player has at least four Water Energy cards in play, the damage jumps to 90. This mechanic encourages resource management and energy acceleration, making the card a versatile choice for competitive and casual play alike. The card bears the Regulation Mark I, ensuring it remains legal and relevant in the current Pokémon TCG landscape. Collectors often seek out Suicune from Phantasmal Flames due to its iconic status within the franchise and the artistic interpretation by Nakamura. The reverse holo finish adds a distinct visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any themed collection. Whether you are completing a full set or looking to enhance your Pokémon roster, this card represents a key piece of the 2025 release. It appeals to both nostalgic fans and new collectors who appreciate the detailed artwork and strategic gameplay mechanics that define the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
