Metapod [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Metapod stands out in the ex era for its defensive Poké-Body, Energy Protection, which reduces incoming attack damage based on the Energy attached to it and turns an otherwise humble Stage 1 into a surprisingly stubborn wall.
In-Game
Its attack choice is a neat bit of TCG trivia: Sharpen is a move in the Pokémon games, but Bulbapedia notes that Metapod itself cannot actually learn Sharpen there.
Set Lore
Metapod #39 comes from EX FireRed & LeafGreen, the 2004 expansion built around Kanto and the Game Boy Advance remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, giving this card a direct link to that nostalgia-heavy return to Gen I.
Set Lore
Reverse Holo copies like this are especially fun for collectors because Bulbapedia confirms EX FireRed & LeafGreen cards were also issued as Reverse Holofoils, a signature ex-era treatment that gives even an Uncommon like Metapod a much flashier binder presence.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Atsuko Nishida, one of the most iconic artists in Pokémon history and the original designer of Pikachu, which gives even a modest Metapod an extra layer of collector appeal.
