Mawile

Description

Released in 2007 as part of the Power Keepers set, this Mawile card represents a distinct entry in the Pokémon Trading Card Game history. Card number 17 in the series, it features the iconic artwork by Ken Sugimori, bringing the Metal-type Pokémon to life for collectors and players alike. The reverse holo finish adds a shimmering quality that distinguishes this rare variant within the base set, making it a sought-after piece for those building complete Power Keepers collections. Mawile serves as a Basic Pokémon with 60 Hit Points, offering strategic flexibility during gameplay. Its abilities allow players to search their deck for another Basic Pokémon and place it on the Bench, followed by shuffling the deck, providing crucial support for deck consistency. Additionally, the Pull Away attack deals 20 damage but includes a conditional effect: if the opponent holds five or more cards, they must discard down to four. This mechanic makes Mawile an interesting inclusion for decks focused on hand management and resource control. Collecting this card offers a tangible connection to the mid-2000s era of Pokémon TCG design. Whether you are looking to complete a set, add to your Mawile collection, or simply appreciate the nostalgic value of Ken Sugimori’s illustrations, this reverse holo card delivers both aesthetic appeal and gameplay utility.
