#97 Staraptor - Plasma Freeze (bw9)
Staraptor is a Colorless-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featured in the Black & White series' Plasma Freeze set, released on May 8, 2013. It has a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy and resists Fighting-type attacks by 20, while being weak to Lightning-type attacks with double damage. The card includes two attacks: Wing Attack, which costs three Colorless energies to deal 60 damage, and Strong Breeze, requiring four Colorless energies to shuffle the Defending Pokémon and all attached cards into the opponent’s deck. Artist Hajime Kusajima designed the card, and its flavor text highlights its relentless aggression and meticulous attention to its comb’s shape. Staraptor’s abilities emphasize strategic disruption through its second attack, which can alter the game’s flow by reorganizing the opponent’s resources.
