Collector Insights

Gabite is a Colorless-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featured in the POP Series 9 set released on March 1, 2009. The card is illustrated by artist Kagemaru Himeno and is classified as an Uncommon rarity. Its flavor text describes a Pokémon that habitually digs up and hoards gems in its nest, though its loot is frequently targeted by thieves. Gabite has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and no resistances, making it vulnerable to Colorless-type attacks with a +20 weakness. The card includes two attacks: Burrow, which costs one Colorless energy and allows the player to flip a coin to potentially prevent all damage during the opponent’s next turn, and Distorted Wave, a three-energy attack that deals 60 damage and removes two damage counters from the defending Pokémon before resolving. These abilities highlight its defensive and offensive capabilities within the game’s mechanics. The card’s design and mechanics align with its role in the series, offering strategic flexibility for players.
