Joltik

Description

The 2019 Pokémon Team Up expansion features the Electric-type Pokémon Joltik as card number 47, presented in a distinctive reverse holo finish. Designed by Yuka Morii, this Basic stage card serves as a foundational piece for collectors building out the Team Up set. The card showcases Joltik’s role in the Pokémon universe, where it attaches to larger hosts to absorb static electricity. For players of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Joltik offers a strategic ability that balances offense with sustainability. Its attack allows the player to heal damage from Joltik equal to the damage dealt to the opponent's Active Pokémon, a mechanic that encourages aggressive play while maintaining board presence. With a modest 40 HP and a retreat cost of one energy, Joltik is designed for quick deployment and tactical flexibility. Collectors often seek out the reverse holo variant of common cards for its visual appeal and the way it highlights the card's details without the premium pricing of rarer parallels. Whether you are completing a set, hunting for specific energy types, or simply appreciating the art and mechanics of the Pokémon franchise, this card represents a solid addition to any collection.
