Description
Weedle from the 2009 Rising Rivals set offers a distinct mechanical twist on the classic Bug-type Pokémon. Designed by Ken Sugimori, this Basic Grass-type card carries 60 HP and includes the Rescue String attack, which allows players to search their discard pile for up to five Pokémon to shuffle back into the deck. Its secondary move, Grass Needling Sting, adds a layer of strategic risk with a coin flip mechanic that can double its damage output. As card number 86 in the Rising Rivals expansion, this release captures the early era of the Trading Card Game’s diverse strategic possibilities. Collectors often seek out Rising Rivals cards to complete their set collections or to build thematic decks centered around resource management. The card’s ability to recycle discarded Pokémon makes it a functional piece for players interested in deck recursion strategies. Whether you are a nostalgic fan of the early 2000s expansions or a competitive player exploring unique card interactions, this card represents a solid addition to any Pokémon TCG collection. ## Sources
