5 facts about this card
Forretress is a true Johto original: Bulbapedia notes it was the first original Steel-type Pokémon in the National Pokédex, giving this Unseen Forces holo a direct link to one of Generation II’s signature new typings.
Its classic Pokédex lore says Forretress hides inside a steel-hard shell and blasts off pieces of that armor when threatened, which makes this card’s big self-damaging Pop attack feel perfectly on-brand.
EX Unseen Forces was the first English set built mainly around Pokémon from Gold and Silver’s Johto era, so pulling Forretress here feels like opening a time capsule from Generation II fandom.
This card is one of the set’s early-numbered holo rares from 2005, pairing Johto nostalgia with the EX era’s metallic styling in a way that makes even non-ex holos feel special to collectors.
The artwork is by Aya Kusube, a longtime Pokémon illustrator whose credits stretch back to early-era cards, giving this Forretress the kind of artist pedigree that many EX-era collectors actively chase.
