Dragonite FB

Description

Dragonite FB #56 from the 2009 Supreme Victors set offers collectors a distinct entry in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Designed by Shin Nagasawa, this uncommon reverse holo card presents a Colorless-type Basic Pokémon with 100 hit points, making it a recognizable staple for enthusiasts of the series. The unique "FB" designation distinguishes this iteration from other Dragonite variants released in the same era, adding a layer of specific identity for those tracking character variations across expansions. The gameplay mechanics featured on this card provide strategic versatility through its two available attacks. Collectors and players can utilize "Mach Blow," which requires three Colorless energy to deal 20 damage, though it increases to 80 damage if the defending Pokémon is a Pokémon SP. Alternatively, the "Giant Tail" attack demands four Colorless energy and deals 100 damage, but includes a risk factor where flipping tails results in no damage dealt. This balance of high-risk, high-reward potential, combined with a substantial retreat cost of three energy, defines the card's strategic profile within the game. As part of the Supreme Victors series, this release captures the aesthetic and mechanical trends of late 2009 Pokémon card design. The reverse holo finish adds visual appeal, differentiating it from the standard print run and appealing to those who value finish variations in their collections. For fans of Dragonite, this card serves as a concrete piece of the franchise's history, bridging the gap between nostalgic collecting and active gameplay. Whether you are building a specific deck around Colorless types or simply appreciating the artistry of Shin Nagasawa, this card represents a tangible connection to a pivotal moment in Pokémon TCG history. Its enduring presence in the community highlights the lasting appeal of the Supreme Victors expansion and the iconic status of its featured Pokémon.
