Collector Insights

Mantine is a Water-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It possesses two attacks: Group Swim, which requires one Water energy to search the deck for a Water Pokémon, reveal it to the opponent, and add it to the player’s hand before shuffling the deck, and Aqua Slash, a two Water energy attack that deals 40 damage while preventing Mantine from attacking during the next turn. The card resists Fighting-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Lightning-type attacks with double damage. It belongs to the HeartGold & SoulSilver series, released in February 2010, and is numbered 45 in its set. The card’s flavor text references Mantine’s indifference to Remoraid attaching to it for scavenging leftovers. Designed by artist Naoyo Kimura, it carries a rarity of Uncommon and is associated with Pokémon Dex number 226. The card’s strategic flexibility lies in its ability to manipulate the opponent’s deck while offering a direct offensive option.

As it majestically swims, it doesn't care if Remoraid attach to it for scavenging its leftovers.
