Description
Released in 2004 as part of the Team Magma vs Team Aqua expansion, this Pokémon trading card features Team Aqua's Kyogre as card number 3. Designed by artist K. Hoshiba, the card belongs to the Water and Darkness types, offering a distinct dual-type identity within the game's framework. It is classified as a Basic Pokémon with 100 HP, serving as a foundational piece for decks built around the Team Aqua archetype. The card's strategic depth comes from its unique ability and attacks. The Power Saver ability creates a conditional restriction: if three or fewer Pokémon bearing the Team Aqua name are in play, Kyogre cannot attack. This mechanic encourages players to manage their board presence carefully. When the ability is not in effect, Kyogre can utilize WaterColorless Aqua Trip, which flips a coin to potentially confuse or put the defending Pokémon to sleep. Additionally, Aqua Smash deals 50 damage plus 20 more if the target is affected by a Special Condition, rewarding strategic setup. For collectors, this release is a notable entry in the early 2000s Pokémon era. The Reverse Holo finish adds visual appeal, making it a sought-after item for those completing the set or focusing on rare parallels. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your library, this card represents a significant piece of Pokémon history. Its specific abilities and type combination make it a versatile option for various strategies. The card's retreat cost of 3 energy is a standard consideration for deck construction, balancing its offensive potential with mobility needs.
