#3 Venusaur - Dark Explorers (bw5)
Venusaur is a Grass-type Pokémon with 140 HP and a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. It features the ability Floral Fragrance, allowing the player to search their deck for a Pokémon, reveal it, and place it into their hand before their attack, followed by shuffling their deck. Its primary attack, Poison Powder, requires two Grass and two Colorless energy to deal 70 damage and poison the defending Pokémon. Venusaur resists Water-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card is part of the Black & White series, released as part of the Dark Explorers set in May 2012. Artist Masakazu Fukuda designed the artwork, and the card’s flavor text describes how the flower on its back intensifies its scent after rain, attracting other Pokémon. This Rare Holo card emphasizes strategic deck management through its ability and balanced offensive capabilities.
