Description
Pineco represents the foundational entry into the 2023 Scarlet & Violet base set, serving as card number 001 out of 198. As a Grass-type Basic Pokémon, this reverse holo card brings a nostalgic element to the growing collection of Scarlet & Violet merchandise. The design highlights Pineco’s defining characteristic: its hard-shelled body constructed from glued tree bark, a detail rooted in its Pokédex entry which describes how it secretes fluid to cement its protective layer. This product appeals to dedicated Pokémon Trading Card Game enthusiasts who value both the aesthetic appeal of the reverse holo finish and the strategic potential of its gameplay mechanics. In the context of the Scarlet & Violet series, Pineco offers a distinct tactical option with its Guard Press attack. This ability allows players to reduce damage taken from their opponent’s next turn by 30 points, providing a crucial defensive buffer in competitive matches. With only 60 HP and a retreat cost of two, it functions best as a supportive unit designed to protect more fragile allies or set up for a strategic retreat. The card’s regulation mark, G, confirms its inclusion in the modern rotating legal formats, ensuring it remains a relevant piece for builders focusing on the current meta. Collectors often seek out this release to complete their Scarlet & Violet base set runs, while players appreciate the versatility of a Basic Pokémon that can withstand early-game aggression. The reverse holo treatment adds a shimmering dimension to the card, making it a visually striking addition to any binder or collection. Whether you are assembling a comprehensive library of Pokémon cards or looking for specific type advantages in your deck, Pineco stands as a reliable choice. Its straightforward design and functional attack make it an accessible entry point for new collectors while maintaining enough strategic depth to interest seasoned veterans. The combination of its iconic status as a first-set Pokémon and its practical utility ensures it remains a staple in the Scarlet & Violet ecosystem.
