#41 Golduck - Cosmic Eclipse (sm12)
Golduck is a Water-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, released in the Cosmic Eclipse set on November 1, 2019. Designed by artist Shigenori Negishi, this Uncommon card features an HP of 110 and requires one Colorless Energy to retreat. It possesses two attacks: Scratch, which costs a single Colorless Energy to deal 30 damage, and Energy Loop, a more powerful move that costs Water and Colorless Energy to strike for 80 damage. The latter allows the player to transfer an attached Energy card to their hand, providing a strategic resource gain. Golduck has a weakness to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage, making it vulnerable to specific strategies. Its design reflects a focus on utility and adaptability through its Energy management ability. The card’s flavor text highlights its ability to incapacitate fast-swimming fish Pokémon by halting their movement, emphasizing its disruptive potential in battle.
