#65 Swellow - Holon Research Tower (holon-research-tower)

Swellow is a Pokémon card from the Holon Research Tower set, released on October 28, 2005. It is a Rare card with a holographic design and an HP of 70. The card features artwork by Atsuko Nishida and includes two attacks. The first attack, Steep Dive, costs one Colorless energy and has a converted energy cost of 1. When used, it involves flipping a coin; if heads, it prevents all effects of an attack, including damage, done to Swellow during the opponent's next turn. If tails, it increases Swellow's Glide attack's base damage by 100 for the player's next turn. The second attack, Glide, requires three Colorless energy and deals 40 damage. This attack has no additional effects beyond its base damage. The card's design and mechanics are consistent with its role in the game's competitive and casual play environments.
