#51 Galvantula - Plasma Storm (bw8)
Galvantula is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 80 HP. It features two attacks: Discharge, which costs one Lightning Energy and deals 30 damage multiplied by the number of Lightning Energy cards discarded, and Signal Beam, requiring two Colorless Energy to deal 30 damage while flipping a coin to potentially confuse the defending Pokémon. The card has no resistances and is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its design is attributed to artist Hajime Kusajima, and it belongs to the Black & White series, released as part of the Plasma Storm set in February 2013. The card’s flavor text describes its ability to create electrified silk barriers for both defensive and offensive purposes. Galvantula is classified as a Pokémon with no retreat cost, making it a straightforward play. It is numbered 51 in its set and corresponds to Pokémon Dex number 596. The card’s rarity is listed as Uncommon, reflecting its placement in the collection.
