Relicanth

Description

Designed by Mitsuhiro Arita, this Pokémon Trading Card Game card features the Fighting-type creature with 100 HP. The card's most notable mechanical feature is the Memory Dive ability, which allows evolved Pokémon to access attacks from their previous evolutionary stages, provided the necessary Energy is attached. This strategic depth makes it a unique addition to any collection focused on game mechanics and artistic design. Relicanth is classified as a Basic Pokémon, meaning it can be played directly from the hand onto the Bench without requiring evolution. With a retreat cost of 1, it offers flexibility in deck construction. The card also includes a single attack, Razor Fin, dealing 30 damage. Collectors often seek out Illustration Rares for their premium finish and the creative interpretations they bring to familiar Pokémon. The Temporal Forces set continues to build the rich history of the Pokémon TCG, offering new strategies and artistic styles. Relicanth #173 stands out for its combination of nostalgic design and innovative gameplay mechanics. Whether you are a fan of the Pokémon universe or a dedicated collector of rare cards, this release offers a compelling piece of memorabilia. The card is regulated with the H mark, ensuring it complies with current tournament standards.
