Collector Insights

Pupitar is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a Retreat Cost of 1 Colorless Energy. It boasts a unique ability called Boost Gas, which reduces its Retreat Cost to 0 if it has any Energy attached. The card’s attack, Rage, requires two Colorless Energy to deal 20 damage plus 10 additional damage for each damage counter on Pupitar. Pupitar resists Lightning-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Water-type attacks with double damage. Its design is linked to Pokémon Dex number 247, reflecting its powerful, rocky shell. The card was released in the HeartGold & SoulSilver series as part of the HS—Unleashed set on May 12, 2010. Artist Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrates the card, capturing its formidable, mountain-moving strength as described in its flavor text. This Uncommon rarity card emphasizes Pupitar’s resilience and destructive potential through its mechanics and thematic description.

Its shell is as hard as sheet rock, and it is also very strong. Its thrashing can topple a mountain.
