Lillipup

Description

This Common card, numbered 108, depicts the Normal-type canine Pokémon in a style that captures its playful nature while remaining true to the set's distinct design language. Collectors often seek out the Reverse Holo finish for its shimmering foil treatment that contrasts beautifully with the non-foil card backs, adding visual interest to any binder or collection box. Lillipup is classified as a Basic Pokémon, meaning it can be played directly onto the battlefield without evolving. It boasts 50 Hit Points and is Colorless in type, making it a flexible choice for various deck archetypes that prioritize speed and agility. Its attacks include a simple Tackle dealing 10 damage and a more potent Bite attack dealing 20 damage when two Colorless energy are attached. With a retreat cost of just one energy, Lillipup is notably swift, allowing trainers to move it around the field easily to avoid incoming attacks or position it strategically against opponent's Pokémon. The flavor text notes that the long hair around Lillipup's face acts as a radar, allowing it to sense subtle changes in its surroundings—a detail that adds character depth to this otherwise straightforward creature card. For investors and hobbyists alike, the XY series remains a cornerstone of modern Pokémon TCG history, representing a time when the game saw massive global expansion and innovation. Owning pieces like the Lillipup Reverse Holo card allows collectors to touch a tangible piece of this cultural phenomenon.
