Ralts

Description

Released in 2003 as part of the Ruby & Sapphire expansion, the Pokémon Ralts reverse holo card (#66) represents a foundational piece of the Generation 3 TCG era. Illustrated by Ken Sugimori, this Basic Psychic-type Pokémon carries 50 HP and features a retreat cost of just 1, making it a mechanically efficient unit in early play formats. Its primary ability, Psychic Confuse Ray, allows players to flip a coin to potentially confuse the defending Pokémon, adding a layer of strategic uncertainty to battles. For collectors, the reverse holo treatment provides a shimmering foil finish that contrasts sharply with the standard black border of the set. This finish makes the card a sought-after addition for those looking to build diverse sets or appreciate the visual variety within the Ruby & Sapphire series. The card’s Pokédex number, 280, anchors its place in the broader Pokémon lore, while its status as a Common rarity ensures it remains accessible for building complete collections.
