Koffing [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This card is a classic Delta Species oddity: Koffing is normally a Poison-type Pokémon in the games, but EX Delta Species reimagined it as a Grass-type after the Holon experiments that created type-shifted δ Species Pokémon.
Set Lore
Koffing #72 sits in EX Delta Species, the October 31, 2005 set that introduced Delta Species Pokémon to English collectors and framed them as bizarre new forms altered by electromagnetic radiation at Holon Research Tower.
Card History
This Koffing is especially fun for old-school collectors because Bulbapedia notes it is extremely similar to Expedition Base Set Koffing, but upgrades Confusion Gas so it works automatically instead of requiring a coin flip.
Artist
The card was illustrated by Sachiko Adachi, whose tactile, handcrafted style became a memorable visual signature on many mid-2000s Pokémon cards and gives this Koffing a distinctly storybook-like Delta Species look.
Card History
Koffing has deep anime nostalgia because James’s longtime partner debuted as a Koffing before evolving into Weezing, linking this humble common to one of Team Rocket’s most recognizable Pokémon lines.
