Collector Insights

Sunkern is a Grass-type Pokémon with 40 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It has no resistances and is weak to Fire, which deals double damage. The card includes two attacks: "Rollout" costs one Colorless energy to deal 10 damage, while "Sunbathe" requires two Grass energy. When using Sunbathe, the player flips a coin, and if it lands heads, all damage counters are removed from Sunkern. The attack also allows the player to search their deck for a card that evolves from Sunkern, attach it to the Pokémon, and shuffle the deck afterward. This ability counts as evolving Sunkern during the turn. The card’s flavor text describes it as small and powerless, relying on flapping its leaves to deter enemies. It was first released in the Neo Destiny set on February 28, 2002, as a Common rarity card. Artist Etsuya Hattori designed the illustration for this entry.

It is very small and powerless. If attacked, the best it can do is flap its leaves in an attempt to frighten away its enemies.
