#8 Sceptile - Plasma Freeze (bw9)

Sceptile is a Grass-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featuring a Rare Holo rarity and appearing in the Black & White series. It was released as part of the Plasma Freeze set on May 8, 2013, and is illustrated by artist kawayoo. The card requires two Colorless Energy to retreat and has a converted retreat cost of 2. Sceptile’s attacks include X-Scissor, which costs Grass and Colorless Energy to deal 30+ damage with a potential 40 boost on a coin flip, and Energy Bloom, which uses two Grass and one Colorless Energy to heal 20 damage to all allied Pokémon with attached Energy. The Pokémon resists Water-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks with double damage. Its flavor text highlights its ability to slice through thick trees with its leaf-covered arms, emphasizing its dominance in jungle environments. The card’s design and mechanics reflect its thematic connection to plant-based combat and resilience.
