Collector Insights

Blacephalon is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 110 HP. It requires two Colorless Energy to retreat. Its sole attack, Fireworks Bomb, costs one Psychic and one Colorless Energy. The move allows the player to place four damage counters on an opponent’s Pokémon, distributing them as desired. If the opponent has exactly three Prize cards remaining, the damage increases to twelve counters instead. Blacephalon resists Fighting-type attacks by 20, making it less vulnerable to such threats. Its weakness to Darkness-type attacks is doubled, emphasizing a strategic vulnerability. The card was released in the Sun & Moon series as part of the SM Black Star Promos set on February 3, 2017. Artist Shin Nagasawa designed the card, which features a Pokémon described as slithering toward people before triggering an explosive head detonation. The flavor text hints at its classification as an Ultra Beast, aligning with its enigmatic and powerful nature.

It slithers toward people. Then, without warning, it triggers the explosion of its own head. It's apparently one kind of Ultra Beast.
