Crobat VMAX

Description

The Crobat VMAX (SWSH099) stands as a formidable presence in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, boasting a massive 300 HP that reflects its status as a VMAX stage card. Released in 2019 as part of the SWSH Black Star Promos series, this Darkness-type Pokémon evolves from Crobat V and brings significant tactical weight to any deck. The card’s design emphasizes its power through a bold holo treatment, making it a visually distinct addition for collectors who appreciate the aesthetic of the Sword & Shield era. In terms of gameplay, Crobat VMAX offers versatile utility with two distinct attacks. The first, "Stealth Poison," requires one Darkness, one Colorless, and one Darkness energy to activate. It not only deals 70 damage but also applies the Poisoned status to the opponent’s Active Pokémon and allows the player to switch Crobat with a Benched Pokémon. The second attack, "Max Cutter," demands two Darkness and one Colorless energy to deal a devastating 180 damage. This high-output move makes the card a potent threat in battles, capable of knocking out powerful opponents in a single strike. The Crobat VMAX promo, illustrated by PLANETA Tsuji, captures the essence of the Pokémon universe with a sleek, modern design. The regulation mark "D" identifies its legality during a specific period of the Sword & Shield expansion cycle, adding a layer of historical context for enthusiasts tracking the game's evolution. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a display of premium Pokémon cards, this promo offers a blend of artistic appeal and mechanical strength.
