Espeon

Description

Released in 2019, the Pokémon Espeon from the SWSH Black Star Promos series (card number SWSH174) stands out as a distinctive addition to the trading card game catalog. Crafted by artist Tika Matsuno, this Stage 1 Psychic-type Pokémon evolves from Eevee and features a striking holo finish that captures the attention of collectors. With 110 HP and a retreat cost of just one, Espeon is designed for strategic versatility in gameplay. The card’s abilities highlight its offensive potential. The 'Psy Bolt' attack allows players to flip a coin, potentially paralyzing the opponent’s Active Pokémon if successful. For more substantial damage, the 'Psychic' attack scales effectively, dealing 10 plus 40 additional damage for each Energy attached to the opponent's Active Pokémon. This scaling mechanic makes the card a formidable choice in competitive play, appealing to those who value tactical depth. Collectors often seek this promo card for its unique release status and the iconic nature of the Psychic-type Pokémon. The regulation mark E indicates its era of legality, adding to its relevance for current and future sets. Whether building a themed collection or focusing on specific Pokémon types, the Espeon promo offers a compelling entry point. Its enduring popularity ensures it remains a key item for those looking to complete their Black Star Promos subset or expand their roster of powerful Psychic-type cards.
