Shedinja
Lost Thunder

#95 Shedinja - Lost Thunder (sm8)

Shedinja is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It features the ability Vessel of Life, which allows the player to discard all cards attached to this Pokémon and attach it as a Pokémon Tool to one of their own Pokémon during their turn. This ability also ensures that when the attached Pokémon is Knocked Out, the opponent receives one fewer Prize card. Shedinja’s sole attack, Haunt, costs one Colorless Energy and deals no direct damage, instead placing three damage counters on the opponent’s Active Pokémon. The card requires one Colorless Energy to retreat, reflecting its simple evolution mechanics. It belongs to the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Lost Thunder set, released in November 2018. The card’s flavor text hints at its unusual origin, describing it as a Pokémon that appears in a Poké Ball when a Nincada evolves. Artist kawayoo designed the card, which is classified as a Rare card in the Pokémon TCG.
