Volbeat [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Volbeat is a clever anti-Pokémon-ex tech piece, because its Extra Protection Poké-Body completely blocks attacks from opposing Pokémon-ex as long as you also have Illumise in play.
In-Game
Its attack, Swift, is pulled straight from the video games, where Volbeat can learn Swift via Move Tutor in Pokémon Emerald, giving this card a neat link back to the Hoenn era it came from.
Set Lore
Because it comes from EX Delta Species, this card belongs to one of the ex-era's most distinctive expansions, a set released with Reverse Holofoils and built around the strange Holon-region concept of unusual Pokémon typing and experimentation.
Artist
Collectors who love quirky ex-era artwork often chase Midori Harada cards, and this Volbeat is a great example of the offbeat, instantly recognizable style that made Harada a fan-favorite illustrator in the Pokémon TCG.
Cultural Impact
Volbeat feels especially thematic beside Illumise here, since Pokédex lore describes Illumise as leading illuminated Volbeat in nighttime displays, making this card's partner-dependent Poké-Body feel true to the pair's in-universe relationship.
