About Metapod BSS 54

Metapod BSS 54, , first released in March 2026 in the set Base Set (Shadowless). It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 26.06.

Metapod 54/102 from Base Set is a Stage 1 Grass-type that functions primarily as a stall card thanks to its **Stiffen** attack, which can prevent all damage done to it during your opponent’s next turn, so it would best fit in a defensive or evolution-focused Grass deck aiming to buy time to set up a stronger Stage 2 like Butterfree; however, even in that role it is generally inefficient because it requires Energy to use Stiffen and only delays attacks for one turn, making it slow and vulnerable to Gust effects or status conditions. In competitive Base/Jungle-era play, there are much stronger defensive options such as **Chansey (Base Set)** for high-HP stalling, **Mr. Mime (Jungle)** for damage prevention, or **Scyther (Jungle)** for efficient offense and free retreat, and even within Grass decks, cards like **Ivysaur/Venusaur** lines provide more impact. Overall, Metapod is outclassed and would not typically see competitive play outside of very casual or theme-based decks.
