Togedemaru

Description

Released in 2017 as part of the SM Black Star Promos series, the Togedemaru SM44 card offers collectors a distinct addition to the Pokémon TCG catalog. This promotional release features the electric mouse Pokémon as a Basic stage card with 70 HP, designed by artist Sanosuke Sakuma. The card’s holo finish adds a layer of visual appeal that distinguishes it within the promo subset, making it a recognizable piece for fans of the Sun & Moon era. In terms of gameplay, this card utilizes the Lightning Nuzzle attack, which requires a coin flip to potentially paralyze the opponent's Active Pokémon, alongside a straightforward Rollout attack for consistent damage. The low retreat cost of one Colorless energy enhances its flexibility in deck construction, though its primary value lies in its collectibility. Completing this series requires tracking down various promo cards distributed at events and through special programs. For investors and hobbyists alike, the Togedemaru SM44 represents a tangible connection to a specific moment in Pokémon history, blending nostalgic design with functional card mechanics. Its place in the broader TCG landscape makes it a worthy addition for those building comprehensive collections of promotional releases.
