Pokémon Trading Card Game Pupitar

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game Reverse Holo card features Pupitar, the volatile Hard Shell Pokémon, as a Stage 1 Fighting-type Pokémon. The dynamic artwork by Scav captures Pupitar’s turbulent nature, likely mid-vent as it violently expels the pressurized gas that allows it to fly, perfectly illustrating the restless energy described in its Pokédex entry.

As the crucial middle evolution between Larvitar and Tyranitar, Pupitar is an aggressive but risky attacker. Its single attack, Take Down (cost: two Fighting Energy and one Colorless Energy), deals a substantial 60 damage. However, this power comes at a cost, as the attack also does 20 damage to Pupitar itself, reflecting its wild and uncontrolled fighting style.

Classified as an Uncommon card (denoted by the diamond symbol), it has a solid 90 HP. It carries a Grass-type Weakness (x2), no Resistance, and a three-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost, emphasizing its heavy, rocky shell. As noted in its Pokédex entry, this pupa flies around wildly by venting the highly pressurized gas inside its body—a perfect analogy for its powerful yet self-destructive attack. This Reverse Holo version adds visual flair to a card that serves as a high-risk, high-reward bridge to one of the game’s most powerful Stage 2 Pokémon.
