Collector Insights

Araquanid is a Water-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featuring a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy. It appears in the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Forbidden Light set, released on May 4, 2018. The card is numbered 33 and classified as Uncommon rarity. Artist Kodama designed the artwork, and the flavor text highlights its protective nature toward vulnerable Pokémon, using water bubbles to shield them. Araquanid has no resistances but is weak to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its two attacks include Bubble, a Water energy-cost move that deals 30 damage and has a 50% chance to Paralyze the opponent’s Active Pokémon. The second attack, Bubble Trap, requires two Colorless energy and deals 40+ damage, with an additional 80 boost if the player used Bubble in their previous turn. The card’s design emphasizes its aquatic theme and defensive capabilities through its special effects.

Despite what its appearance suggests, it cares for others. If it finds vulnerable, weak Pokémon, it protectively brings them into its water bubble.
