Farfetch'd

Description

Released in 2007, this Pokémon trading card game card is part of the Secret Wonders expansion. Identified by card number 49, Farfetch'd is a Basic Colorless Pokémon with 60 HP. The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, maintaining the visual style characteristic of the era. In gameplay, Farfetch'd utilizes two distinct attacks: Colorless Swords Dance and Colorless Leek Slap. Swords Dance modifies the damage of Leek Slap on the following turn, increasing its base damage to 60. Leek Slap itself deals 30 damage but prevents the use of that specific attack on the subsequent turn. This creates a strategic rhythm for players managing energy and turn order. The card also requires 1 colorless energy to retreat. Collectors often seek out this Uncommon card for its nostalgic value and specific mechanical interaction. The flavor text notes that Farfetch'd defends the stalk it holds with its life, adding narrative depth to the creature's design. As a staple of the Secret Wonders set, this card represents a key piece of the Pokémon TCG's history. Whether you are building a collection or looking for specific cards to complete your set, understanding the unique attributes of each release helps in making informed decisions. The Farfetch'd card remains a notable entry for fans of the Colorless type and those interested in the strategic depth of early 2000s Pokémon TCG mechanics.
