Price History
Description
As card number 4 in the MA set, this Lightning and Darkness-type Stage 1 Pokémon is a reverse holo rare finish designed by K. Utsunomiya. It evolves from Team Aqua's Electrike, continuing the narrative of the team's electric-focused roster. For collectors, this card represents a specific era of Pokémon TCG design where team affiliations drove the thematic deck-building experience. The reverse holo treatment gives it a distinctive look compared to standard holo rarer, appealing to those who hunt for finish variations within early 2000s sets. Its dual typing allows for versatile energy attachment strategies, a hallmark of the game's evolution during this period. Beyond its visual appeal, the card offers strategic depth through its Power Shift ability. This mechanic allows players to move basic Energy cards between Pokémon with Team Aqua in their name, facilitating rapid setup for powerful attacks like Thunderspark. This ability encourages deck construction around the Team Aqua archetype, making it a staple for enthusiasts of that specific team's history. Whether you are building a Team Aqua collection or looking to complete the MA set, this card holds significant place in the broader Pokémon trading card landscape. Its connection to the early 2000s expansion era makes it a valuable addition for investors and hobbyists who appreciate the foundational cards that shaped competitive play and casual collection alike. The combination of its unique ability, team affiliation, and rare finish ensures it remains a notable piece for any serious Pokémon TCG library.
