#2 Swadloon - Noble Victories (bw3)

Swadloon is a Grass-type Pokémon with 70 HP, requiring one Colorless Energy to retreat. It features two attacks: Tackle, which costs a single Grass Energy and deals 20 damage, and String Shot, which uses two Colorless Energies to deal 20 damage while potentially paralyzing the defending Pokémon. The card’s flavor text highlights the symbiotic relationship between Swadloon and its environment, noting how its nutrient-rich leaves sustain forest ecosystems. It has no resistances and is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. The card was released in the Black & White series under the Noble Victories set in November 2011. Swadloon’s design is attributed to artist Midori Harada, and it holds the number 2 in its set. This Uncommon rarity card emphasizes its role in early-game strategies through its straightforward yet versatile attack options.
