Chimecho

Description

Released in 2020 as part of the Vivid Voltage expansion, Chimecho (Card #72) is a Basic Psychic-type Pokémon card that has garnered attention for its strategic utility and striking reverse holo treatment. Designed by Asako Ito, this card features the ghostly balloon Pokémon floating against a vibrant background characteristic of the set’s electric aesthetic. The reverse holo finish gives the artwork a shimmering, textured appearance that stands out among the common cards in the base set. Beyond its visual appeal, Chimecho is valued by players for its ability to manipulate the deck. The attack 'Colorless Auspicious Tone' allows the player to search their deck for any Pokémon and Supporter card, reveal them, and add them to their hand before shuffling. This makes it a reliable engine for consistency, helping players find key pieces without disrupting their draw flow. Another attack, 'Hypnoblast,' deals 30 damage and puts the opponent’s Active Pokémon to sleep, offering a mix of damage and control. Collectors appreciate this card for its clean design and the nostalgic appeal of the Pokémon series. The reverse holo variant is particularly popular among those who enjoy completing sets with the most visually distinct versions of each card. Whether you are building a themed collection or looking for a reliable card for casual play, this Chimecho offers a blend of charm and function.
