Collector Insights
Misty's Poliwhirl is a Water-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy cards. It belongs to the Gym series, specifically the Gym Heroes set, which was released on August 14, 2000. The card has no resistances but is weak to Grass-type attacks, dealing double damage under such circumstances. Its two attacks include "Rapids," which costs one Water and one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage and potentially discard an Energy card from the defending Pokémon, and "Water Punch," requiring three Colorless energy to deal 30 plus 10 damage per head from flipped coins tied to Water Energy attachments. The card’s design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, and its theme revolves around strategic Energy management and probabilistic damage calculations. It carries a rarity of Uncommon and is numbered 53 in its series. The card’s themecolor is a muted greenish-blue, aligning with its Water-type identity.
