#32 Vanillish - Next Destinies (bw4)
Vanillish is a Water-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featured in the Black & White series under the Next Destinies set. It requires two Colorless energy to retreat and has no resistances, making it vulnerable to Metal-type attacks with double damage. Vanillish’s attacks include Icy Snow, which uses a single Water energy to deal 20 damage, and Icy Wind, a more powerful move that costs Water and two Colorless energy to strike for 50 damage while potentially putting the defending Pokémon to sleep. The card’s flavor text describes Vanillish as a creature adapted to snowy environments, with historical ties to ancient ice ages that prompted its migration to warmer regions. Artist Mizue illustrates the card, and it was released as a Uncommon rarity on February 8, 2012. The design emphasizes Vanillish’s association with cold climates through its attacks and thematic background. Its straightforward mechanics and strategic sleep-inducing ability make it a notable card in competitive play.
