#3 Victreebel - Guardians Rising (sm2)

Victreebel is a Grass-type Pokémon with 140 HP, featured in the Sun & Moon series under the Guardians Rising set, released on May 5, 2017. Its retreat cost requires two Colorless energy, and it has no resistances, making it vulnerable to Fire-type attacks with a ×2 weakness. The card includes two attacks: Pollen Hazard, which costs one Grass energy to deal 20 damage and inflicts Burned, Confused, and Poisoned statuses on the opponent's Active Pokémon, and Stick and Absorb, which uses Grass and two Colorless energy to deal 80 damage while healing 20 damage to Victreebel and preventing the defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent's next turn. The artwork is credited to artist TOKIYA, and the flavor text hints at its elusive nature, describing it as living in massive colonies deep within jungles. As a Rare card with number 3 in its set, Victreebel offers strategic versatility through its combined offensive and defensive capabilities. The card’s design emphasizes its role in disrupting opponents while maintaining its own durability through healing mechanics. Its straightforward yet impactful effects align with the thematic emphasis on environmental adaptation and resilience.
