Nidoran ♀

Description

Released in 2009 as part of the Rising Rivals expansion, this Nidoran ♀ card occupies card number 71 in the set. It is a Basic Pokémon with a Psychic energy type and 60 Hit Points, designed to support deck-building strategies through its unique abilities. The card features the Reverse Holo finish, a treatment that adds a distinctive shimmering effect to the illustration, making it visually distinct from the standard common versions while remaining accessible to collectors. The card’s primary value to players lies in its second attack, "Offer Help." This move allows the player to search their deck for a Supporter card, reveal it to the opponent, and place it directly into their hand before shuffling the deck. This utility makes the card a functional tool for resource management during gameplay, regardless of its common rarity status. The retreat cost is listed as one colorless energy, providing a low-cost option for moving the Pokémon out of combat situations. For collectors of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this release represents a tangible piece of the franchise's 2009 history. Owning this reverse holo variant adds variety to a collection, offering both gameplay utility and aesthetic interest. The card is illustrated by Miki Tanaka, whose work contributes to the visual identity of the set. Whether you are building a themed deck or expanding your library of Pokémon cards, this entry provides a concrete connection to the era's competitive and casual play environments.
