Ponyta 060/102 Pokémon Base Set Shadowless Raw

Ponyta (060/102) from the Pokémon Base Set Shadowless is a beloved staple for collectors and fans of the original Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Fire-type Basic Pokémon, this card captures the fiery spirit of the Flame Horse Pokémon with vibrant artwork by Ken Sugimori. With 40 HP and a simple retreat cost of one Colorless energy, Ponyta may not dominate the battlefield, but its nostalgic charm and classic design make it a must-have for any vintage Pokémon card collection. Featuring attacks like "Smash Kick" (20 damage) and "Flame Tail" (30 damage), this card offers a glimpse into the early mechanics and art style that launched a global phenomenon

Released in 1999 as part of the inaugural Base Set, the Shadowless edition of Ponyta is distinguished by the absence of a black border around the illustration — a subtle but important trait that separates it from later print runs. While not as rare or valuable as cards like Charizard or Blastoise, Ponyta remains a popular choice for completists and players looking to build authentic retro decks. Its common rarity makes it accessible, yet well-preserved Near Mint or Gem Mint copies — especially from the 1st Edition — are prized for their condition and historical significance in the TCG’s history
