Cresselia

Description

Released in 2018 as part of the Ultra Prism expansion, this Pokémon TCG card highlights the legendary Pokémon Cresselia as a Basic Psychic-type unit with 120 Hit Points. Numbered 59 in the set, it carries a Holo Rare finish that distinguishes it within the Ultra Prism series for collectors who appreciate the distinct foil treatments of the era. The card was illustrated by chibi, whose work adds a recognizable visual signature to this release in the growing catalog of Pokémon collectibles. From a gameplay perspective, Cresselia offers strategic versatility through its attack options. The Psychic Lunar Payback ability allows players to discard an Energy card to swap all damage counters between this Pokémon and the opponent's Active Pokémon, creating dynamic board control opportunities. Alternatively, the second attack deals 60 plus 20 more damage for each Energy attached to the opponent's Active Pokémon, making it a potent threat in matchups requiring precise resource management. With a retreat cost of just one Colorless Energy, the card remains agile enough to support various deck strategies. For enthusiasts of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this card represents a key piece of the Ultra Prism era. It captures the essence of the Psychic type's thematic focus on mental power and lunar symbolism, as reflected in its Pokédex lore regarding joyful dreams and the crescent moon. Whether you are building a themed collection, seeking to complete the Ultra Prism set, or looking to add a functional card to your playgroup's roster, this Cresselia release provides both aesthetic appeal and mechanical depth.
