Metapod [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Fusion Strike Metapod is a Stage 1 Grass-type with the Exoskeleton Ability, a perfect mechanical fit for Metapod’s cocoon form because it reduces damage before it swings back with Ram.
In-Game
The card’s flavor text is lifted from Pokémon Shield, tying this print directly to the Sword & Shield era by emphasizing that Metapod’s shell is sturdy even while the body inside remains fragile.
Artist
Saya Tsuruta illustrated this card, giving an otherwise humble uncommon a soft, storybook look that many collectors recognize as one of her signature strengths.
Set Lore
Metapod #2 was released in the English Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike expansion on November 12, 2021, placing it inside one of the era’s biggest sets and making its Reverse Holo version a fun binder upgrade from an often-overlooked slot near the front of the checklist.
Set Lore
In English, Fusion Strike cards were also available as Reverse Holos, which gives this uncommon Metapod an extra layer of collectibility beyond its regular set print.
