Collector Insights
Sunkern is a Grass-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It has a Fire weakness that deals double damage. The card requires two Colorless Energy to retreat. Sunkern features two attacks: Growth and Mega Drain. Growth costs one Grass Energy and allows attaching up to two Grass Energy cards from the player’s hand if a coin flip results in heads. Mega Drain uses three Grass Energy to deal 30 damage and removes damage counters from Sunkern based on half the damage dealt to the defending Pokémon. The card was released in the Neo Genesis set in December 2000. Artist Kagemaru Himeno designed the artwork, which reflects the Pokémon’s natural habitat. The flavor text describes Sunkern’s tendency to suddenly descend from the sky and react vigorously to attacks.
It may drop out of the sky suddenly. If attacked by a Spearow, it violently shakes its leaves.
