Psyduck

Description

Designed by Kouki Saitou, the card showcases the iconic Water-type Pokémon known for its constant headaches. As a Basic stage card, Psyduck brings 60 HP to the battlefield, providing a solid foundation for early-game strategies. The reverse holo finish adds a shimmering texture that contrasts with the set's standard card design, making it visually distinct for completionists. In gameplay, Psyduck utilizes the Colorless Headache attack. By flipping a coin, players can hinder their opponent, preventing them from playing Trainer cards during their next turn if the result is heads. This control mechanic adds a layer of strategic depth beyond simple damage output. The card requires a retreat cost of two colorless energy to move, balancing its defensive utility with mobility limitations. Collectors often seek out the reverse holo variant for its aesthetic appeal and the nostalgic feel it brings to the Team Up set. Whether you are building a comprehensive Team Up collection or focusing on specific Pokémon types, understanding the unique traits of each card enhances the collecting experience. The reverse holo treatment highlights the card's rarity within the common tier, appealing to those who appreciate the subtle variations in print finishes. For investors and hobbyists alike, this card represents a tangible piece of the 2019 Pokémon TCG landscape, preserving the era's design language and gameplay mechanics.
