#12 Hoppip - Lost Thunder (sm8)
Hoppip is a Grass-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, specifically featured in the Lost Thunder set released on November 2, 2018. It has 40 HP and is classified as a Common rarity. The card’s artist is kawayoo, and its flavor text describes Hoppip as a creature that drifts on winds, with a connection to the arrival of spring when it gathers in fields and mountains. Hoppip’s primary attack is Tackle, which costs one Grass energy and deals 20 damage. The Pokémon requires one Colorless energy to retreat, and it resists Fighting-type attacks by reducing damage taken by 20. However, it is weak to Lightning-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s design and mechanics align with its Grass-type identity, emphasizing its natural, wind-associated traits.
