Collector Insights
Dark Ivysaur is a Grass-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It belongs to the "Other" series, released in the "Best of Game" set on December 1, 2002, and is numbered 6 with a Promo rarity. The card's artist is Shin-ichi Yoshida, and it has no resistances but is weak to Fire, which deals double damage. Its ability, Vine Pull, allows switching an opponent's Benched Pokémon with their Active one once during the player's turn when Dark Ivysaur retreats. The primary attack, Fury Strikes, costs two Grass energy and inflicts 10 damage per marker placed on the opponent's Pokémon, with markers removed at the end of the turn. This attack also bypasses Weakness and Resistance, creating a dynamic defensive and offensive strategy. The card's design emphasizes its Grass typing and tactical flexibility through its unique mechanics.
