Collector Insights

Marshtomp is a Water-type Pokémon from the Diamond & Pearl series, featured in the Great Encounters set released in February 2008. It has 90 HP and a rarity of Uncommon, with an artist credit for Sumiyoshi Kizuki. The card’s flavor text describes its ability to maintain stability in muddy environments and its habit of burrowing into dirt for rest. Marshtomp’s attacks include Pound, which requires two Colorless Energy to deal 20 damage, and Muddy Bomb, a more powerful move that costs a Fighting and two Colorless Energy. The latter deals 30 damage to a chosen opponent’s Pokémon while inflicting 10 damage to all other of their active Pokémon, bypassing usual Weakness and Resistance effects for Benched Pokémon. The card’s retreat cost is two Colorless Energy, and it lacks any resistances but is weak to Grass-type attacks with a +20 damage bonus. Its design aligns with the Pokémon’s ecological traits, emphasizing adaptability in challenging terrains.

Its sturdy legs give it sure footing, even in mud. It burrows into dirt to sleep.
