Description

The Pokémon XY Grumpig #50 Reverse Holo card is a Stage 1 Psychic-type Pokémon from the 2014 XY set. This card features the distinctive reverse holo finish that collectors appreciate for its reflective shimmer, contrasting with the standard card borders. As an evolution of Spoink, Grumpig brings a unique tactical presence to the Pokémon Trading Card Game with 100 HP and a retreat cost of two energy.

Tricky Steps allows players to move an energy attached to an opponent's active Pokémon to their bench, disrupting their strategy while dealing 30 damage. Meanwhile, Psybeam inflicts 60 damage and confuses the opponent's active Pokémon, adding a layer of risk and reward to battles. These mechanics reflect the creature's lore, which notes its use of black pearls to amplify psychic power and its strange dance to control foes' minds. Designed by artist sui, this card is part of the broader XY series, which remains a favorite among collectors for its diverse roster and creative card designs. The reverse holo treatment adds visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any set completion project. Collectors often seek out specific card numbers like #50 to round out their XY collections, appreciating the consistency and quality of the set's production. Whether you are building a competitive deck or simply expanding your Grumpig collection, this card offers both nostalgic value and strategic depth. Its placement in the XY set ensures it fits seamlessly into collections focused on this era of Pokémon TCG history. The combination of its psychic type, attack variety, and aesthetic finish makes it a standout piece for enthusiasts of the franchise.
