Collector Insights

Meganium is a Grass-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It possesses the Poké-Power "Soothing Aroma," allowing the player to flip a coin during their turn to remove one damage counter from all their Pokémon, provided Meganium is not under a Special Condition. The card’s primary attack, "Poisonpowder," requires two Grass and two Colorless energy to deal 40 damage and poison the defending Pokémon. Meganium resists Water-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its design incorporates a themecolor of #9aad5a, reflecting its Grass-type identity. The card was released as part of the Expedition Base Set in September 2002, with artwork by Hajime Kusajima. It holds the Pokédex number 154, marking its position in the Pokémon evolutionary line.
