Defender 80/102 Pokémon Base Set Unlimited Raw

The Defender (80/102) – Base Set Unlimited Pokémon Trading Card Game card is a valuable and nostalgic addition to any collector’s or player’s deck. As an Uncommon Trainer card from the original Base Set released in 1999, it holds a special place in Pokémon TCG history, representing the early days of the franchise's global expansion. This Unlimited Edition card features classic artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi and showcases the enduring design aesthetic of the Shadowless era. Whether you're completing your Base Set collection or enhancing your gameplay strategy, the Defender card is a sought-after piece for fans of all ages.

In gameplay, Defender provides a tactical advantage by reducing damage dealt to one of your Pokémon by 20 points (after Weakness and Resistance are applied). This effect lasts until the end of your opponent’s next turn, after which the card is discarded. While its protection is temporary, it can be crucial in pivotal moments, helping your Pokémon survive a powerful attack and stay in battle. Its utility in both casual and competitive play has made it a staple in many retro-themed decks, especially those centered around iconic Base Set Pokémon like Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur.
