#35 Alolan Geodude - Team Up (sm9)
Alolan Geodude is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featured in the Sun & Moon series’ Team Up set. It has a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy and a Metal resistance of -20, making it less vulnerable to Metal-type attacks. The card’s primary attack, Charge, allows the player to search their deck for up to two Lightning Energy cards and attach them to Alolan Geodude before shuffling their deck. Its secondary attack, Smash Bomb, requires one Lightning and two Colorless Energy to deal 50 damage but has a 50% chance to fail based on a coin flip. The Pokémon’s weakness to Fighting-type attacks is doubled, emphasizing its vulnerability in certain matchups. Designed by artist Yuka Morii, the card’s flavor text describes a scenario where mistaking it for a rock leads to a painful headbutt and an electric shock. Alolan Geodude’s unique mechanics and balanced stats position it as a versatile card for strategic play. The card was released in the Team Up set on February 1, 2019, as a Common rarity.
