Description
Released in 2017, this Pokémon trading card game card was illustrated by Yuka Morii and carries the set code PR-SM. As a promo item, it holds a distinct place in collector circles, often sought after for its special distribution and the creative fusion of the final evolution of the Kanto Grass starter with its regional counterpart from Kalos. Mechanically, this card is a Basic Grass-type Pokémon with a substantial 270 HP. It features the Shining Vine ability, which allows for strategic board control by enabling the player to switch one of their opponent's Pokémon when attaching Grass Energy. The card’s offensive power comes from its Forest Dump attack and the devastating Solar Plant-GX attack. Solar Plant-GX can deal 50 damage to each of the opponent's Pokémon, provided the Venusaur & Snivy-GX has at least two extra Energy attached, making it a formidable presence in casual play and a prized addition to any Pokémon card collection. Collectors who value the SM Black Star Promos series often look for this card number to complete their sets. The holo finish adds a layer of visual appeal, distinguishing it from standard card releases. Whether you are building a themed collection around Grass-types or focusing on the broader Pokémon TCG landscape, the Venusaur & Snivy-GX represents a memorable moment in the Sun & Moon era. Its combination of iconic characters, powerful attacks, and promotional rarity makes it a staple for enthusiasts looking to expand their inventory with high-quality, recognizable pieces from the 2017 release.
