For Pokémon TCG collectors and players, Forretress (60/106) from the 2014 XY Flashfire expansion is a striking Metal-type Stage 1 trading card. The illustration by Tomokazu Komiya depicts Forretress atop a log in a lush forest setting, and the card’s swirling holofoil background highlights its armored shell. In gameplay, its Thorn Tempest Ability places a damage counter on each of the opponent’s Pokémon as soon as it evolves, while its Iron Crash attack deals extra damage based on the opponent Active Pokémon’s retreat cost. This mid-set rare blends XY-era nostalgia and vivid artwork with solid utility in Metal-themed decks, making it a notable addition for collectors and players alike.
