Description
The Pokémon Stormfront Torterra card, numbered 11 in the 2008 set, represents a key Stage 2 evolution from Grotle in the Trading Card Game. This release features a reverse holo finish, offering collectors a distinct alternative to the standard foil treatment while maintaining the card's status as a Holo Rare. Designed by Masakuzu Fukuda, the card embodies the strategic depth of the era's Grass-type mechanics, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate both the artistic design and gameplay utility of the Stormfront series. Torterra serves as a formidable presence on the battlefield with 140 Hit Points, utilizing its Fighting and Grass typing to control the match. The card’s ability, Sunshine Song, allows players to evolve a Pokémon during their turn, providing strategic flexibility for building Grass-focused decks. Its attacks, Crash Impact and Land Shake, offer powerful offensive options that can disrupt opponent bench strategies, making this card a relevant piece for competitive play and nostalgic collection. As part of the Stormfront set, this release remains a significant entry for collectors tracking the evolution of Pokémon TCG design and mechanics during the late 2000s.
