Collector Insights

Arbok is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 80 HP. It features two attacks: "Deadly Poison," which costs one Psychic energy and deals 10 damage plus 40 more if the defending Pokémon is already poisoned, while also poisoning it if not, and "Wrap," requiring three Colorless energy to deal 50 damage and potentially paralyzing the defending Pokémon with a coin flip. The card has a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. Arbok’s flavor text describes its intimidating belly pattern and its ability to constrict opponents while they are paralyzed with fear. It was released in the Great Encounters set from the Diamond & Pearl series on February 1, 2008. The card is classified as Uncommon rarity and is illustrated by Ken Sugimori. It has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, taking an additional 20 damage. The card’s design aligns with its thematic portrayal as a fearsome, constricting predator.

The pattern on its belly is for intimidation. It constricts foes while they are frozen in fear.
