Chesnaught V

Description

The Chesnaught V Pokémon trading card, numbered 15 in the Silver Tempest expansion, represents a formidable Grass-type presence within the 2022 release. Produced by Pokémon, this card captures the defensive strength of the Chesnaught species, boasting a substantial 230 HP that allows it to withstand significant battle damage. As a Basic stage Pokémon, it is ready to play immediately without evolution requirements, making it a straightforward addition to any collection focused on the Silver Tempest set or general Pokémon history. Designed by N-DESIGN Inc., this card utilizes the distinctive Rare Holo V treatment, characterized by a shimmering foil finish that highlights the Pokémon's armored form. The card’s gameplay mechanics are centered around protection and resilience. Its ability, Needle Line, provides a unique defensive advantage: if the active Chesnaught V takes damage from an opponent's attack, three damage counters are placed on the attacking Pokémon. This mechanic rewards strategic positioning and makes the card a challenging target for aggressive decks. For attackers, Chesnaught V offers the Touchdown attack, which costs three energy (two Grass, one Colorless) and deals 130 damage while healing 30 damage from itself. This self-sustaining capability extends its longevity in play, a trait that appeals to players and collectors who appreciate well-rounded card designs. The card also carries a retreat cost of four energy, reflecting the Pokémon's heavy, tank-like nature, and bears the Regulation Mark F, indicating its legal status in standard formats at the time of release. Collectors value this card not only for its competitive utility but also for its place in the broader Pokémon TCG landscape. Whether you are building a comprehensive set collection or seeking specific V cards for your library, this card offers a tangible connection to the 2022 Pokémon trading card experience.
