Pokémon TCG Kyogre

Description

This original Pokémon TCG card features the legendary Sea Basin Pokémon, Kyogre, as a high-powered Basic character. The card showcases a majestic and formidable illustration of the Pokémon swimming through the dark, deep ocean depths, with its signature red patterns glowing brilliantly against its sleek blue body.

As a Water-type Pokémon, it excels at utilizing the resources within a player’s discard pile to overwhelm opponents. Its primary utility comes from the Riptide attack, which deals a base amount of damage that scales significantly for every Basic Water energy card currently in the player’s discard pile; after the damage is dealt, those energy cards are shuffled back into the deck to be used again. Additionally, it can unleash the massive Swirling Waves strike to deliver heavy direct damage, though this maneuver requires the player to discard energy from the Pokémon. The artwork by Nisota Niso perfectly captures the awe-inspiring power of the character, complemented by flavor text stating that it is said to have widened the seas by causing massive downpours while it slept in a marine trench. The card also features standard game stats for a legendary character, including a specific weakness to Lightning-type attacks and a heavy retreat cost.
