Pokémon Trading Card Game Iron Boulder

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game Holo card features Iron Boulder, a formidable Paradox Pokémon from the future, as a Fighting-type Basic Pokémon. The artwork by GIDORA showcases its heavy, metallic body, a being named after a mysterious object from an ancient book, as noted in its enigmatic Pokédex entry.

Iron Boulder is a powerful but conditional attacker. Its single attack, Adjusted Horn (cost: two Fighting Energy and two Colorless Energy), deals an enormous 170 damage, enough to knock out most Pokémon in a single hit. However, this power is locked behind a strict condition: “If you don’t have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent, this attack does nothing.” This requires careful hand management to unleash its full potential.

Classified as a Rare Holo card (denoted by the star symbol and holographic finish), it has a high 140 HP. It carries a Psychic-type Weakness (x2), a Lightning-type Resistance (-30), and a four-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost, reflecting its heavy, robotic form. This Future Pokémon is a high-risk, high-reward centerpiece for decks that can reliably control hand sizes to meet its demanding condition.
