The character
Froslass is a Snow Land Pokémon known as the Ice Doll Pokémon, evolving from Snorunt. In the games and anime it is depicted as a ghostly spirit that freezes those who stray too close with its icy breath, often portrayed as eerie and vengeful. Mega Froslass is a Mega Evolved form introduced to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, giving the species a boosted, more powerful presentation.
This card
This is Mega Froslass ex from the Ascended Heroes set, numbered 265/217, a secret-slot holo card beyond the base set count, reflecting its Ultra Rare status. The artwork by Saboteri shows the Mega-Evolved Froslass in a dynamic icy pose layered with large stylized kanji text in a foil-textured finish. The card displays the Mega Evolution ex rule banner and the printed illustrator credit at the lower left.
How it plays
This Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon has 310 HP, evolves from Snorunt, and carries a weakness to Metal types (×2) with a retreat cost of one. Its first attack, Resentful Refrain, costs a single Water energy and deals 50 damage for each card in the opponent's hand. Its second attack, Absolute Snow, costs one Water and two Colorless energy, deals 150 damage, and puts the opponent's Active Pokémon to sleep. As a Mega Evolution ex, when this Pokémon is Knocked Out the opponent takes three Prize cards instead of the usual one.
