Sceptile

Description

The Pokémon Trading Card Game card Sceptile #8 from the 2013 Plasma Freeze set is a sought-after Reverse Holo rare that captures the essence of the Grass-type line. Designed by kawayoo, this release appeals to collectors who appreciate the distinct visual treatment of the reverse holo finish, which shifts the light to create a unique shimmering effect across the card surface. Unlike standard foils, this finish offers a more subtle yet striking aesthetic that stands out in any binder or collection display. Sceptile serves as the final evolution in its line, having evolved from Grovyle, and represents a powerful Stage 2 Pokémon with 130 HP. The card's design and gameplay mechanics reflect its jungle combat prowess, allowing players to utilize its attacks for strategic advantage. Its GrassColorless X-Scissor attack provides flexibility, dealing 30 damage with a chance for an additional 40, while its GrassGrassColorless Energy Bloom attack offers support by healing 20 damage from each of your Pokémon that has any Energy attached. This dual utility makes it a functional piece for gameplay as well as a collectible item for those interested in the Plasma era. For collectors, completing the Plasma Freeze set is a popular goal, and Sceptile #8 plays a key role in that journey. The Reverse Holo rarity adds a layer of interest, as these finishes are often preferred for their clean look and durability. Whether you are building a personal archive, focusing on Grass-type completions, or simply admiring the artwork by kawayoo, this card from The catalog represents a solid addition for any serious Pokémon TCG enthusiast.
