Collector Insights

Forretress is a Metal-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a Fire ×2 weakness and a Grass -30 resistance. It has a retreat cost of two Colorless energy and is part of the Skyridge set released in 2003. The card’s artist is Midori Harada, and it belongs to the E-Card series. Forretress offers two attacks: Spinning Blow, which costs two Colorless energy and deals 20× damage based on coin flips, and Scatterbomb, requiring Metal and two Colorless energy to deal 40 damage. Spinning Blow’s effect also allows switching Forretress with a Benched Pokémon if both coins land heads. Scatterbomb’s damage distribution targets Benched Pokémon, inflicting 10 damage per head or tail flipped, while ignoring Weakness and Resistance for those Pokémon. The card’s theme color is a warm golden hue, reflecting its metallic typing and tactical combat mechanics.
