Tangela 66/102 Pokémon Base Set Unlimited Raw

Tangela (66/102) from the Pokémon Base Set Unlimited edition is a nostalgic treasure for collectors and fans of the original Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Grass-type Basic Pokémon, this Common card captures the whimsical and mysterious nature of Tangela, the Vine Pokémon, with its signature tangled blue vines and curious eyes peeking through. First released in 1999, the Base Set Unlimited version removed the shadow border found in the original "Shadowless" print run, making it a slightly later but still highly sought-after release in the early days of the TCG. With its classic artwork and foundational role in the game’s history, this card is a must-have for anyone building a retro Pokémon collection.

The card features two simple yet thematic attacks: Bind (20 damage; flip a coin—if heads, the defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed) and Poisonpowder (20 damage; the defending Pokémon is now Poisoned). With 50 HP, a two-Colorless retreat cost, and a weakness to Fire-type Pokémon, Tangela stays true to its in-game identity as a defensive, status-inflicting battler. While not a powerhouse in modern gameplay, its charm and historical significance make it a standout piece for enthusiasts of vintage Pokémon cards. The Unlimited edition maintains the same iconic design as the original Base Set, with subtle differences like the darker border and updated symbol placement that distinguish it from the rarer Shadowless version.
