Snubbull

Description

Released in 2017 as part of the SM Black Star Promos series, the Snubbull promo card (SM200) holds a distinct place in the Pokémon Trading Card Game catalog. This Basic Fairy-type Pokémon was distributed through various promotional channels, making it a recognizable piece for fans of the Sun & Moon era. The card is identified by the set code PR-SM and carries the Pokédex number 209, serving as a clear reference point for collectors organizing their holdings. The Snubbull SM200 card features a Holo finish, a treatment that catches the light and adds visual depth to the card's presentation. Designed by Framestore, the card captures the essence of the character, which the Pokédex describes as growing close to others easily but also being easily spoiled. This contrast between its cute appearance and its somewhat spoiled nature has made Snubbull a memorable addition to the franchise, resonating with both casual players and dedicated collectors. For TCG enthusiasts, this promo card offers a complete gameplay profile. Snubbull boasts 60 HP and a retreat cost of 1, allowing for flexible positioning in battle. Its attacks include Fairy Bite for 10 damage and Paralyzing Gaze, which requires a coin flip to potentially paralyze the opponent's Active Pokémon. While the promotional nature of this release means it was not part of a standard booster set, its availability in the secondary market continues to drive interest. Collectors often seek out the SM200 Snubbull to complete specific subset collections or to add a unique Holo variant to their Fairy-type portfolios. The card's status as a promo release adds a layer of exclusivity, distinguishing it from standard retail cards and making it a valuable item for those building comprehensive Pokémon card libraries.
