Collector Insights

Gorebyss is a Water-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featured in the Diamond & Pearl series under the Great Encounters set, released on February 1, 2008. It is numbered 38 and classified as a Uncommon rarity card. The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, and its flavor text describes it as a creature that resides at the ocean’s depths, with a pink body that becomes more vibrant during spring. The card has no resistances but is weak to Lightning, taking an additional 20 damage. Its retreat cost is zero, allowing it to remain on the field without requiring energy to retreat. Gorebyss has two attacks: Sweet Temptation swaps a Benched Pokémon with a Defending one, dealing 10 damage to the new target, and Psychic Snap uses Water and Colorless energy to deal 30+ damage, with an extra 20 if Psychic Energy is attached, causing Confusion. These abilities highlight its strategic versatility in battle.

It lives at the bottom of the sea. In the springtime, its pink body turns more vivid for some reason.
