Positive Energy 6: Fighting/Ground/Rock

There’s a lot of different kinds of energy in the collecting space today: positive, negative, upset, excited, water, you name it.

Going with that theme, I will post an energy type, and you post your favorite card of that energy type. Feel free to include why you enjoy the card! The post with the most likes after an appropriate amount of time will win bragging rights and the wonderful bobbrob designed badge:

Limit your entries to one card per post, and three posts per person max. Please write out the card and set name in text in addition to the image posted for posterity in case images break.

Next up are fighting/ground types!

I really love this Lucario promo and I believe it is one of the few depictions of Lucario where the Pokemon is throwing feet instead of hands. Killer stamps as well on the Japanese card.

Cheers!

Anyone else who always started new Crystal game early in the morning just to add this little elephant in their team on route 46? :slight_smile:

Neo Discovery Omastar.

The fact Magnemite got holofoil card in this set and Omastar didn’t still feels like heresy after 25 years. :pikahappy:

Honestly, wasn’t sure quite what to pick since I don’t have favorite illustrations by color/type.

So, take this creepy Medicham from EX Power Keepers as illustrated by none other than Imakuni himself!

One of my fav cards, great pick :raising_hands:

Dark Machamp (10/82) - Team Rocket

One of the reasons I love this set is because the illustrators really pulled off the Dark Pokémon style, they give you a more aggressive and battle ready appearance of Pokémon.

This Machamp by Mitsuhiro Arita is a perfect example & one of the best looking cards in the set!

Lucario C (Supreme Victors)

I love how Kawayoo depicted Lucario here, perfectly capturing an upcoming counterstrike!

Could be nostalgia, but I think Groudon peaked right here
