Collector Insights

Forretress is a Metal-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. It possesses the Iron Shell ability, which allows the player to flip a coin whenever a basic Energy card is attached from their hand, potentially adding two damage counters to all Pokémon except Forretress if the result is tails. The card’s attack, Explosion, requires four Energy (two Metal and two Colorless) to deal 100 damage while inflicting 40 damage to itself. Forretress resists Psychic-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fire-type attacks by 20. The Pokémon’s design emphasizes its metallic structure, with a flavor text describing its encased form and enigmatic interior. It belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series, released in August 2008, as part of the Legends Awakened set. The card’s artist is Kent Kanetsuna, and it carries a Rare rarity with the number 28 in its set. Its dual Energy cost and self-inflicting attack make it a unique strategic option within its series.

It is encased in a steel shell. Its peering eyes are all that can be seen of its mysterious innards.
