Collector Insights

Cubone is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It features a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and a resistance to Lightning damage, reducing it by 30. The card’s flavor text hints at its mysterious nature, noting that it never removes its skull helmet, leaving its true face unseen. Cubone has two attacks: Snivel, which costs one Colorless energy and reduces damage by 20 if the defending Pokémon attacks during the opponent’s next turn, and Rage, a powerful attack requiring two Fighting energies that deals 10 damage plus 10 more for each damage counter on Cubone. The card’s resistance to Lightning and weakness to Grass (×2) define its strategic interactions. It was first released in the Jungle set as part of the Base series on June 16, 1999. The artwork was created by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, and the card is classified as Common in rarity.

Because it never removes its skull helmet, no one has ever seen this Pokémon's real face.
