#38 Voltorb - Team Up (sm9)

Voltorb is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featuring a Common rarity and released in the Sun & Moon series as part of the Team Up set. Its design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, and it was included in the game’s expansion alongside Poké Balls, hinting at its historical significance. The card has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and can use the Tackle attack, which costs one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage. Voltorb resists Metal-type attacks by 20 damage but is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s flavor text references its discovery alongside Poké Balls, suggesting an enigmatic link to the game’s mechanics. It requires one Colorless energy to retreat, aligning with its basic evolution structure. Voltorb’s simplicity and straightforward mechanics make it a foundational card in the series.
