#10 Cacturne - Plasma Freeze (bw9)

Cacturne is a Grass-type Pokémon with 90 HP. It features a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and is part of the Black & White series, released in the Plasma Freeze set on May 8, 2013. The card’s artist is Suwama Chiaki, and it carries a Rare rarity. Cacturne has two attacks: Rapid-Fire Needles, which costs one Grass energy to deal 60 damage and inflicts 30 damage to a single Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched targets, and Payback, requiring Grass and Colorless energy to deal 30+ damage. If the opponent has only one Prize card remaining, Payback adds 60 damage and discards an Energy from the Defending Pokémon. The card resists Water-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its flavor text describes it as active at night, hunting prey that is fatigued from daytime desert activity. The card’s design emphasizes its Grass-type identity and tactical versatility through its dual attacks.
