Collector Insights
Skiploom is a Grass-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featuring a unique ability called Buffer that prevents it from being Knocked Out by an opponent's attack under specific conditions. When Skiploom would be Knocked Out, a coin flip determines if it remains with 10 HP instead. Its primary attack, Miracle Powder, costs one Colorless energy and deals 10 damage, allowing the player to apply a Special Condition to the defending Pokémon if a coin flip results in heads. Skiploom resists Water-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card is part of the Team Rocket Returns set, released in 2004, and is classified under the EX series. Designed by artist Kyoko Umemoto, Skiploom has a rarity of Uncommon. The card's artwork and design reflect its role in the series, with no additional effects or traits mentioned in the data. It requires no retreat cost, making it a flexible option for gameplay strategies.
