Collector Insights

Prinplup is a Water-type Pokémon with 80 HP. It has two attacks: Surf, which costs one Water energy to deal 30 damage, and Bubblebeam, requiring two Water and one Colorless energy to deal 50 damage and potentially paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card has no resistances but is weak to Lightning, taking an additional 20 damage from such attacks. Prinplup’s retreat cost is one Colorless energy. The card’s flavor text reflects its prideful nature, as PRINPLUPs view themselves as the most important. It was released in the Platinum series in 2009 and is part of the Platinum set. The artwork was created by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. This card is classified as Uncommon rarity.

Because every PRINPLUP considers itself to be the most important, they can never form a group.
