Skarmory

Description

Designed by toi8, this Common rarity card captures the essence of the Metal-type Pokémon for enthusiasts building their Twilight Masquerade collection. The card establishes Skarmory as a Basic Pokémon with 120 HP, providing a solid foundation for gameplay strategies centered around its type advantages. Skarmory’s kit includes two distinct attacks that define its role in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The first, Metal Cutting Wind, deals 30 damage for just one Metal energy cost. The second, Big Storm, is a more powerful option dealing 90 damage for three Colorless energy, but it requires the player to discard a Stadium card currently in play. This mechanic adds a strategic layer, forcing tactical decisions about board state management. The card also features a retreat cost of two Colorless energy, balancing its offensive potential with mobility constraints. For collectors, the Twilight Masquerade set represents a significant chapter in Pokémon card history, and this Skarmory card serves as a key component for those completing the base set. The inclusion of the Regulation Mark H helps identify its print run within the broader context of modern Pokémon releases. Whether you are a long-time fan of the franchise or new to collecting, adding this card to your inventory connects you with the specific design and gameplay elements that define this era.
