Onix

Description

Designed by Midori Harada, the card is a staple for collectors seeking to complete the Sandstorm subset or build nostalgic collections from the early 2000s TCG era. Onix enters the battlefield with 80 HP and a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. Its move set includes Bind, which requires two Colorless energy and allows the player to flip a coin; if heads, the Defending Pokémon becomes Paralyzed. The second attack, Rage, costs one Fighting and one Colorless energy and deals 10 damage plus an additional 10 damage for each damage counter on Onix, making it a potent defensive option in the game. As a Common rarity card, the Sandstorm Onix Reverse Holo is highly sought after for its visual appeal and historical significance within the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The Reverse Holo treatment, which applies a reflective foil effect to the illustration and frame rather than the text box, was a popular finish that added collectible value to common cards. Collectors often hunt for these cards to complete their Sandstorm collection or to add a unique aesthetic piece to their binder. Whether you are a long-time fan of the Pokémon franchise or a new collector exploring the TCG, the Onix Sandstorm Reverse Holo #71 represents a key piece of Pokémon history. Its straightforward gameplay mechanics and recognizable design make it a versatile addition to any collection.
