Venusaur

Description

This 2009 Supreme Victors Venusaur #13 card represents a pivotal evolution in the Grass-type lineage of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Stage 2 Pokémon that evolves from Ivysaur, Venusaur brings significant presence to the battlefield with 140 HP. The card features the Green Aroma ability, a strategic tool that removes all Special Conditions from your Grass Pokémon and prevents them from being affected by any Special Conditions in the future. This defensive utility makes it a valuable asset for maintaining board stability. Offensively, the card offers two distinct attacks. The Grass Desperate Pollen attack deals 30 damage but activates a potent effect if Venusaur already has 8 or more damage counters, burning, confusing, and poisoning the Defending Pokémon simultaneously. Alternatively, the Special Reaction attack deals 40 damage plus an additional 40 damage for each Special Condition affecting the opponent. This scaling damage potential allows Venusaur to capitalize on the status effects generated by its own abilities or those inflicted by other cards. Collectors value this Holo Rare variant for its clean design and functional gameplay. The card is illustrated by Kouki Saitou and carries the SV set code, marking its place in the Supreme Victors expansion. For investors and set builders, completing the Supreme Victors collection often requires securing this card number. The combination of defensive immunity and high-risk, high-reward attacks ensures Venusaur remains a memorable piece of TCG history.
