Nincada

Description

As a Basic Grass-type, this card holds a specific place in the Pokédex as number 290, representing the larval stage that evolves into the iconic Ninjask and Shedinja pair. For collectors and players alike, this card is notable for its utility in gameplay mechanics. With 40 HP, it serves as an early-game support unit, utilizing the Colorless Call for Family attack to search the deck for another Basic Pokémon. This ability allows players to shuffle their deck and place a new Pokémon onto the Bench, providing strategic flexibility during matches. The Dash Attack offers a reliable 10-damage option against benched opponents, bypassing standard weakness and resistance calculations. The reverse holo variant of Nincada is particularly valued for its reflective surface, which adds depth to the card's presentation without altering its core gameplay identity. Whether you are building a nostalgic collection or seeking to complete the Supreme Victors set, this card represents a key piece of Pokémon TCG history from 2009. Its status as a common card makes it accessible for new collectors while remaining a staple for those who appreciate the detailed artwork and strategic design of the era. The card's straightforward attack pattern and manageable retreat cost of one colorless energy further emphasize its role as a versatile tool in any deck configuration.
