Pokémon TCG Piloswine

Description

This original Pokémon TCG card features the Swine Pokémon, Piloswine, as a sturdy Stage character that evolves from Swinub. The card showcases a classic illustration of the thick-furred Pokémon standing amidst a vast, icy landscape under a starry night sky, with its tusks barely visible through its shaggy, protective coat.

As a Water-type Pokémon, it utilizes its massive weight and elemental power to overwhelm opponents. Its first move, Rising Lunge, deals direct damage and utilizes a coin flip to potentially deliver a much more powerful blow. For a heavy elemental strike, it utilizes Frost Smash to deliver a reliable and significant amount of damage to the opposition. The artwork by Shinya Komatsu captures the character’s rugged nature, complemented by flavor text noting that its shaggy coat makes it resistant to the cold and its tusks of ice thicken when it snows.

This version is a Reverse Holo, identified by the holographic finish across the card’s body while the main artwork remains standard. The card also features standard game stats, including a specific weakness to Metal-type attacks and a substantial retreat cost.
