Collector Insights

Dugtrio is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It was first released in the Expedition Base Set as card number 44, part of the E-Card series, with a rarity of Rare. The card’s theme color is a warm gold tone, and it is illustrated by artist Masako Yamashita. Dugtrio has a resistance to Lightning attacks, reducing damage by 30, but is weak to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its attacks include Mud Slap, a single Fighting energy cost move that deals 20 damage, and Magnitude, which requires Fighting and two Colorless energies to strike for 40 damage while also inflicting 10 damage to each Benched Pokémon. The latter attack bypasses Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon, making it a versatile strategic option. This card reflects the Pokémon’s signature underground excavation theme through its abilities and design.
