Taillow [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Taillow’s lone attack, Skill Dive, lets this tiny Common pick off any opposing Pokémon for 10 damage, a neat sniper effect that feels surprisingly pesky for such a low-stage card in the ex era.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Tomokazu Komiya, one of the Pokémon TCG’s most distinctive long-running artists, whose credits stretch back to the Neo Genesis era and whose offbeat style makes even commons feel memorable.
Card History
Taillow has real anime pedigree because Ash caught a Taillow as his first Hoenn Pokémon, and it later evolved into Swellow during the Crossgate PokéRinger competition.
In-Game
Taillow’s game lore has always sold it as a fearless underdog, with Pokédex entries describing it as gutsy and willing to stand its ground against stronger foes despite its tiny size.
Set Lore
Reverse Holo copies like this one are especially fun in EX Delta Species because the set was the English debut of the Delta Species concept on October 31, 2005, tying the card to the strange Holon-era experiments that defined one of the ex era’s most beloved themes.
