Pokémon TCG Onix

Description

This original Pokémon TCG card features the Rock Snake Pokémon, Onix, as a high-durability Basic character. The card showcases a powerful and dynamic illustration of the giant, stone-segmented Pokémon tunneling through the earth, surrounded by swirling dust and flying debris as it twists its massive body.

As a Fighting-type Pokémon, it utilizes its sheer size and physical strength to overwhelm enemies. Its primary utility comes from the Bind attack, which deals damage while forcing a coin flip; a successful heads result leaves the opponent’s Active Pokémon Paralyzed, preventing them from attacking or retreating. For a more direct and devastating impact, it can unleash its Strength move to deliver heavy physical damage. The artwork by Uta perfectly captures the character’s immense scale and power, complemented by flavor text stating that it rapidly bores through the ground at high speeds by squirming and twisting its massive, rugged body. The card also features standard game stats for a heavy character, including a specific weakness to Grass-type attacks and a very high retreat cost.
