The Carracosta Reverse Holo from Pokémon Unified Minds (#45) is an Uncommon Water-type Stage 2 card featuring the Ancient Custom ability and the high-damage Aqua Impact attack. Released in 2019, this card is part of the Unified Minds expansion, which continues the narrative of the Pokémon TCG with distinct visual treatments and strategic gameplay options. As a Stage 2 Pokémon, Carracosta evolves from Tirtouga and boasts 160 HP, providing a sturdy presence on the battlefield.

This mechanic encourages players to consider their opponent's retreat options when planning their offensive moves.

Whether you are a seasoned collector or just starting your journey, this card offers both aesthetic appeal and strategic depth. The card's design and mechanics reflect the creativity and innovation that define the Pokémon TCG.
