Mow Rotom

Description

The Mow Rotom Reverse Holo card, designated as number 14 in the 2018 Pokémon Ultra Prism expansion, offers collectors a distinctive piece of the franchise’s modern history. Designed by kawayoo, this Basic Pokémon card is classified under the Grass type and features a 90 HP stat line that supports strategic gameplay. The card’s most notable mechanical feature is the Roto Motor ability, which triggers when a player has accumulated nine or more Pokémon Tool cards in their discard pile. This ability allows the user to ignore all Energy requirements for Mow Rotom’s attacks, providing a significant tactical advantage in specific deck configurations. For the reverse holo finish, the card displays a textured, shimmering treatment that contrasts with the standard rarity symbol, making it a preferred choice for those building complete set collections. The card’s primary attack, Special Mow, requires Grass and two Colorless Energy to execute. This attack deals 60 damage and includes a secondary effect: discarding a Special Energy from the opponent’s Active Pokémon. This disruptive capability adds depth to the card’s utility beyond its base stats. Mow Rotom stands out due to its thematic connection to the Pokémon’s lore, where its plasma-based body is known to infiltrate electronic devices. The card’s design and gameplay mechanics reflect the creative direction of the Ultra Prism era, appealing to both competitive players who enjoy tool-based strategies and casual collectors who appreciate the visual appeal of the reverse holo treatment. Including this card in a collection adds a functional and aesthetic element to any Ultra Prism display.
