Boltund

Description

The Boltund Reverse Holo card, numbered 75 in the 2020 Pokémon Sword & Shield set, offers collectors a distinctive example of the franchise's mid-2020s design language. Issued with the SSH set code, this Stage 1 Lightning-type Pokémon evolved from Yamper and carries a robust 130 HP. The card features a striking reverse holo treatment that gives the artwork a shimmering, textured appearance, making it a visual standout within the base set for those building complete collections. Designed by Misa Tsutsui, the card captures the essence of the Galar region’s Electric-type roster. Boltund is renowned for its incredible stamina, with Pokédex entries noting it can generate electricity to power its legs and run nonstop for three full days. This lore translates into a gameplay style centered on disruption and pressure. Its attacks, Big Bite and Fighting Fangs, are designed to control the opponent’s board. Big Bite prevents the Defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent’s next turn, while Fighting Fangs deals significant damage, especially against powerful Pokémon V or Pokémon-GX targets. The 130 HP provides a solid defensive baseline, allowing Boltund to withstand hits while applying strategic pressure. The card’s retreat cost of one Colorless energy ensures it can be moved easily if needed. For Pokémon TCG enthusiasts, the combination of the popular Boltund character, the efficient reverse holo finish, and its role in the Sword & Shield expansion makes this card a valuable addition to any binder. Whether you are a long-time collector or new to the hobby, this card represents a key part of the modern Pokémon universe.
