Card Details

Journey back to the early days of the Pokémon Trading Card Game with this vintage Lt. Surge's Fearow Holo card, number No. 022, from the highly cherished 1998 Japanese Gym series. This set was revolutionary, introducing Gym Leader Pokémon, allowing players to build decks around their favorite trainers. As a holographic card, it features a shimmering foil pattern that adds a classic charm to Ken Sugimori's original artwork.

Surge's Fearow brings two distinct attacks: "Machine Gun Drill" (マシンガンドリル) which flips 5 coins and deals 10 damage for each head, offering a burst of variable damage. Its second attack, "Clutch" (わしづかみ), deals 30 damage and prevents the Defending Pokémon from retreating during your opponent's next turn, providing strategic control over the battlefield. With its classic artwork by Ken Sugimori, this card is a nostalgic gem for collectors who appreciate the foundational era of the Pokémon TCG.
