#5 Carnivine - Dark Explorers (bw5)
Carnivine is a Grass-type Pokémon from the Black & White series, featured in the Dark Explorers set released in 2012. It has 90 HP and requires two Colorless Energy to retreat, with a converted retreat cost of 2. The card resists Water-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks with double damage. Carnivine’s attacks include Lure Poison, which costs one Grass Energy to switch the Defending Pokémon with an opponent’s Benched Pokémon and inflicts Poison, and Spit Squall, which uses Grass and Colorless Energy to force the opponent to discard the Defending Pokémon and all attached cards. The card’s flavor text describes it as a creature that binds itself to trees in marshes, using its sweet-smelling drool to lure prey. Designed by artist Yukiko Baba, Carnivine’s abilities emphasize its role in disrupting opponents’ strategies through positional shifts and resource removal. Its rarity is listed as Rare, and it is numbered 5 in the set.
