Metapod is a Grass-type Pokémon with 70 HP. It has a retreat cost of two Colorless energy and is part of the Diamond & Pearl series. The card features a Poké-Power called Emerge, allowing the player to search their deck for a card that evolves from Metapod if it is the Active Pokémon. This ability can be used once per turn, provided Metapod is not affected by a Special Condition. The attack, Ram, requires one Grass and one Colorless energy to deal 30 damage. Metapod’s weakness is Fire, which deals an additional 20 damage. The card’s flavor text highlights its resilient shell and patient waiting for evolution. It was released in the Great Encounters set on February 1, 2008, and is illustrated by artist Ken Sugimori.

A steel-hard shell protects its tender body. It quietly endures hardships while awaiting evolution.
