Beldum

Description

As a Basic stage Pokémon, Beldum serves as a foundational piece for players building decks around magnetic themes or Psychic energy acceleration. The Reverse Holo finish provides a shimmering visual distinction that appeals to collectors focusing on foil treatments within the base set. Designed by Shigenori Negishi, this card captures the essence of Beldum’s unique biology. The flavor text highlights that its cells are entirely magnetic, allowing it to communicate with others through magnetic pulses. This thematic element is reflected in the card’s gameplay mechanics. Beldum possesses 60 HP and offers two distinct attacks for strategic play. The first, Colorless Calculate, allows a player to look at the top four cards of their deck and rearrange them in any order, providing crucial resource management and consistency for the turn ahead. The second attack, Psypunch, deals 20 damage for one Psychic and one Colorless energy, offering a reliable early-game option. With a retreat cost of just one Colorless energy, Beldum is easy to move into the Active spot, ensuring it can stay in play to utilize its Calculate ability or defend against opposing attacks. For collectors, this Reverse Holo card represents a tangible connection to the 2013 era of the Pokémon TCG, appealing to those who value the aesthetic of foil finishes alongside the nostalgic utility of Basic Pokémon cards. It remains a sought-after item for completists looking to build their Plasma Freeze collection or for players who appreciate the strategic depth of magnetic Pokémon in the TCG.
