Description

Released in 2022, Lillie's Ribombee (Card Number 183) is a distinctive Promo card from the Scarlet & Violet Promos series. Designed by artist tono and featuring a striking Holo finish, this Stage 1 Psychic-type Pokémon evolves from Lillie's Cutiefly. The card carries the Regulation Mark 'I', marking its place within the official Scarlet & Violet era of the trading card game. In gameplay, this card offers strategic value through its unique abilities. The 'Inviting Wink' ability allows players to disrupt their opponent's strategy; when played from the hand to evolve another Pokémon, the user can reveal the opponent's hand and place any number of Basic Energy cards revealed there onto the opponent's bench. This mechanic provides a powerful tool for resource management and board control. Additionally, the card features the attack 'Psychic Magical Shot,' dealing 50 damage, making it a versatile addition to Psychic-type decks. Collectors of the Scarlet & Violet era appreciate this card for its connection to the character Lillie and its unique foil treatment. As a Promo, it stands apart from standard set releases, often distributed through special events or specific product lines. The card’s design and abilities reflect the innovative mechanics introduced during the Scarlet & Violet period, appealing to both competitive players and those who value the lore and character interactions within the Pokémon universe. Finding this card adds depth to collections focused on the modern era of the TCG, offering a tangible piece of the game's evolving history.
