Shuckle

Description

The Shuckle Reverse Holo card from the 2020 Pokémon Vivid Voltage set (Card #85) is an Uncommon Fighting-type Pokémon TCG card featuring the Fighting Deck Distiller attack. This release is part of the broader Vivid Voltage collection, which brought fresh energy to the Trading Card Game with its vibrant themes and strategic gameplay. Shuckle, known for its defensive nature in the Pokédex, translates well to the card game with its 70 HP and versatile moveset. In gameplay, Shuckle offers a mix of disruption and damage. Its first attack, Fighting Deck Distiller, requires players to flip a coin until they get tails, discarding the top card of the opponent's deck for each heads result. This mechanic provides a strategic layer, allowing collectors and players to engage in deck manipulation tactics. The second attack, Rock Throw, deals 50 damage, offering a reliable option for consistent pressure. With a retreat cost of 1, Shuckle is relatively easy to position on the bench, making it a flexible addition to many decks. Collectors appreciate the Reverse Holo finish for its shimmering effect, which stands out against the set's design. The card is illustrated by Mizue, whose artwork complements the Pokémon's rocky, berry-storing characteristics. As an Uncommon card, Shuckle is a staple for those building their Vivid Voltage collection or seeking to complete their set. Its unique attack patterns and defensive stats make it a favorite among players who enjoy strategic depth and resource management in the Pokémon TCG.
