Pokémon: Suicube Series: HeartGold SoulSilver Set: Promos Card Number: HGSS21 Rarity: P Grade: Raw Year: 2010 Illustrator:   Hideaki Hakozaki Type: Water The Suicune card (HGSS21), specifically the Cosmos Holo with Swirl version from the HeartGold SoulSilver: Black Star Promos of the Pokémon TCG, is a premium raw collectible released in 2010. Featuring artwork by Hideaki Hakozaki, this Water-type Basic Pokémon is distinguished by its shimmering "Cosmos" holofoil finish with a distinctive swirling water pattern, setting it apart from the standard Holo and non-holo variants.  Mechanically, this card possesses 80 HP and features a single attack: Sheer Cold ([1 Water + 1 Water], 50 damage), which states: "Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon can't attack during your opponent's next turn." This powerful disruption effect allows players to lock down the opponent's Active Pokémon, creating a significant tempo advantage and forcing them to switch to a weaker Benched Pokémon. The card has a Lightning Weakness of ×2, no resistance, and a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy, with the Pokédex entry noting: "Suicune is a kindhearted Pokémon that shares water with Pokémon that are struggling in droughts." The Cosmos Holo with Swirl version of Suicune HGSS21 is particularly prized by collectors completing the HeartGold SoulSilver: Black Star Promos set, as it represents the chase promo variant distributed exclusively through the 2010 Fall Collector's Tins, which contained 2 booster packs and 1 Black Star Promo card. Unlike the standard Suicune cards found in booster packs, the HGSS21 variant features unique "Cosmos" foil treatment with a swirling water pattern, making it a cornerstone for both competitive play and high-end collector portfolios. Its ability to provide potent board control through the Sheer Cold effect while offering strong visual appeal ensures consistent demand for raw copies in near-mint condition, particularly as the 2010 HeartGold SoulSilver era continues to gain retro collectibility value and the Black Star Promos remain one of the most sought-after special product lines in the franchise's history.
