Description
Released in 2003 as part of the Ruby & Sapphire expansion, the Dustox card (number 6) stands as a distinctive entry for fans of the Generation III Pokémon universe. Illustrated by Midori Harada, this Grass-type Stage 2 Pokémon evolves from Cascoon and holds 90 HP. The card is classified as a Holo Rare, a treatment that adds significant visual appeal for collectors building out the RS set or completing specific subsets. Gameplay mechanics on this card include the Protective Dust ability, which prevents all effects of attacks except damage, offering strategic protection in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Its attacks, GrassColorless Toxic and GrassColorlessColorless Gust, provide versatile options for controlling the battlefield. Collectors often seek this card for its combination of nostalgic value, the iconic holo finish, and its role as a key piece in the Ruby & Sapphire series. Whether you are assembling a comprehensive collection of Hoenn region cards or looking for a solid addition to your Dustox lineup, this release remains a staple for enthusiasts of early 2000s TCG design.
