Bastiodon GL

Description

Bastiodon GL, designated as card number 2 in the Rising Rivals expansion, captures the enduring appeal of the Metal-type Pokémon within the 2009 Pokémon Trading Card Game. Designed by Hajime Kusajima, this Holo Rare card is a staple for enthusiasts focusing on the strategic depth of the early 2010s era. The card features 90 HP and offers two distinct attacks: Bounce Back, which forces an opponent to switch their Defending Pokémon with a Benched one, and Smack Attack, which deals damage while removing a counter from Bastiodon GL itself. Completing a set of Rising Rivals requires acquiring this low-numbered artifact, which holds significant value for those tracking the evolution of the Metal type in the TCG. The holo foil treatment adds a layer of visual distinction that appeals to both casual fans and serious investors in vintage Pokémon cards. Whether you are aiming to complete a personal collection or seek out key cards for competitive play, this product represents a fundamental component of the Rising Rivals universe.
