Price History
Description
Evolving from Combee, this card is defined by its strategic 'Green Dignity' ability, which allows Vespiquen to deal 10 additional damage for each Grass Pokémon on your bench, provided you hold more Prize cards than your opponent. This mechanic encourages players to build diverse grass-heavy decks to maximize its potential in battle. Vespiquen offers two distinct attacks: 'Grass Bee Drain' deals 20 damage and removes counters equal to the damage dealt, while 'GrassColorless Bee Powder' attempts to inflict Burned, Paralyzed, and Poisoned status conditions if two coin flips land on heads. With a modest retreat cost of 1, Vespiquen remains a flexible choice for trainers navigating complex board states. Illustrations by Kent Kanetsuna bring this Pokémon to life, adding to its appeal for collectors who appreciate the artistic direction of the late 2000s era. For enthusiasts completing the Stormfront series, this card represents a key component of the set's roster. Its specific card number and rarity status make it a notable target for those seeking to document the evolution of Pokémon TCG mechanics during this period.
