Product Overview

Description

Released in 2007 as part of the Secret Wonders expansion, the Pokémon trading card game card Absol #21 captures the essence of the Darkness type with a striking Reverse Holo finish. This Basic card, illustrated by Ken Sugimori, features 70 HP and a retreat cost of just one Energy, making it a flexible option for deck construction. Gameplay for this Secret Wonders card centers on two distinct attacks. Colorless Baleful Wind allows players to disrupt their opponent by choosing a card from their hand without looking and discarding it. If a Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium card is discarded, the effect triggers an additional card discard. Alternatively, Darkness Raid offers a conditional damage boost; if Absol was played from the hand during the turn, the attack's base damage increases from 10 to 40. This duality makes the card a strategic tool for both control and aggressive strategies.
