Collector Insights
Empoleon is a Water-type Pokémon from the Black & White series, part of the BW Black Star Promos set, with card number 56 and a Promo rarity. It has 140 HP and requires two Colorless Energy to retreat. The card features artwork by Shin Nagasawa and includes two attacks: Fury Attack, which uses one Water Energy to deal 30 damage multiplied by the number of heads from three flipped coins, and Cold Crush, which costs Water and two Colorless Energy to deal 70 damage while optionally discarding an Energy from both itself and the defending Pokémon. Empoleon’s flavor text describes its determination to protect its pride, emphasizing its formidable power. It has no resistances but is weak to Lightning attacks, taking double damage from them. The card’s design reflects its role as a combatant with strategic offensive options. Its unique abilities and high HP make it a notable inclusion in competitive play.
If anyone were to hurt its pride, it would slash them with wings that can cleave through an ice floe.
