Anorith

Description

Released in 2003 as part of the Sandstorm expansion, the Anorith Reverse Holo card holds a specific place in Pokémon Trading Card Game history. Identified as card number 27 with the set code SS, this Uncommon rarity card is distinguished by its Reverse Holo finish, which adds visual depth to the collectible without altering its fundamental gameplay identity. Designed by Mitsuhiro Arita, the card captures the essence of the pre-Modern era of the franchise, appealing to enthusiasts who value the distinct aesthetic and mechanical rules of early 2000s releases. Anorith is classified as a Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from Claw Fossil. In the context of the game, it brings a Fighting type to the field with 80 Hit Points. Its strategic utility comes from two primary attacks. The first, Colorless Fast Evolution, allows a player to search their deck for an Evolution card, shuffle it back, and potentially set up future plays. The second, FightingColorless Pierce 30, offers a direct damage option that ignores part of the opponent's Resistance, providing tactical flexibility during matches. The Reverse Holo variant of Anorith is particularly sought after by those who appreciate the foil treatment's interaction with light and its contribution to the set's diversity. Whether you are building a comprehensive collection of the Sandstorm expansion or focusing on specific Pokémon lineages, this card serves as a tangible link to the game's evolving lore and mechanics.
