Collector Insights

Gloom is a Grass-type Pokémon with 70 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Razor Leaf, which costs Grass and Colorless energy to deal 20 damage, and Foul Odor, requiring Grass and two Colorless energies to deal 30 damage while confusing both the defending Pokémon and Gloom after resolving. The card has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks multiplied by two. It was released in the Expedition Base Set as part of the E-Card series on September 15, 2002, and is numbered 78 with an uncommon rarity. The artwork is by Yuichi Sawayama, and its theme color is a warm yellow-green (#bcbc48). The card’s design aligns with its Grass-type identity, emphasizing plant-related mechanics through its attacks and weaknesses. Its Confusion-inducing effect adds a strategic layer to its gameplay interactions.
