pokemon cards poliwhirl - (16/111) the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed Poliwhirl - Reverse Holofoil FireRed

This gives your opponent a hint at what might be about to come their way, and even when you put a creature into play, they usually cant be used to do damage until the next turn, unless the card is an instant, a category of card thats yet another exception to the rules

This is an Angel (so will have some interest), but will also be another $1.50-$2 card in the end

However, fun as that sounds, I'm concerned it may wear thin when almost every box on that checklist remains starkly unchecked

Another high-performing Ultra Rare, this card could fare pretty well even after Pitch Black has been out for a while given how well the SIR version is trending on the secondary card market
