Porygon2

Description

The 2023 Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promo featuring Porygon2 (#138) offers collectors a distinct entry point into the modern TCG era. As a Stage 1 Colorless card, this release represents the second evolutionary stage of Porygon, evolving from its predecessor with a base HP of 90. The card bears the Regulation Mark G, placing it squarely within the current legal framework for sanctioned play, while its promo rarity status gives it a unique place in the Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos set. Designed by artist GOSSAN, the card is defined by its mechanical identity rather than just visual appeal. Porygon2 utilizes the Colorless Powered Ball 50 attack, which requires the player to discard an Energy from the Pokémon to deal damage. This strategic trade-off adds a layer of tactical decision-making to any deck that includes this card. With a retreat cost of just 1 Colorless Energy, the Pokémon remains mobile on the battlefield, allowing players to reposition it quickly during matches. For collectors, this promo card serves as a notable addition to any Pokémon trading card collection. It captures the digital aesthetic of the Porygon line, reflecting its origins as a computer-programmed Pokémon. The flavor text notes that after artificial intelligence was implemented, Porygon2 began using a strange language understood only by others of its kind, adding a touch of lore to the card's identity. Whether you are building a themed deck around the Porygon evolutionary line or simply seeking to complete a set of Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos, this card provides a solid foundation. Its straightforward mechanics and iconic subject matter make it a versatile piece for both casual play and serious collection building. The card's design and gameplay elements come together to create a memorable item for fans of the franchise.
