Granbull

Description

Released in 2003 as part of the Pokémon Skyridge expansion, this Reverse Holo Granbull card (number 61) captures a pivotal evolution in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Granbull, a Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from Snubbull, boasts 80 HP and utilizes Colorless energy for its attacks. The card features two distinct moves: Fling 20 and Mega Punch 50. Fling 20 offers strategic depth by allowing the player to switch the opponent's Defending Pokémon with one from their Bench, dealing damage before the switch occurs. This mechanic adds a layer of tactical gameplay, making it a favorite among players who enjoy controlling the board state. The Reverse Holo finish gives the card a shimmering, textured appearance that stands out in any collection. Designed by Tomokazu Komiya, the card reflects the artistic style of the early 2000s Pokémon TCG era. Collectors often seek out specific finishes like the Reverse Holo to complete their Skyridge sets or to build themed collections based on Colorless-type Pokémon. With a retreat cost of only 1, Granbull can easily move into the Active spot, providing flexibility in battles. This card remains a staple for enthusiasts looking to own a piece of Pokémon history from the Skyridge series.
