#103 Espathra - Scarlet & Violet (sv1)
Espathra is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 110 HP, featuring a unique combination of attacks and defensive traits. It has no retreat cost, allowing it to remain in play without requiring energy for movement. The card includes two attacks: "Eye Strength" costs a single Psychic energy to deal 20 damage and prevents the defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent's next turn. "Psychic" requires two Colorless and one Psychic energy, dealing 30+ damage and adding 50 points for each Energy attached to the opponent's Active Pokémon. Espathra resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Darkness-type moves, which deal double damage. Its flavor text highlights its ability to immobilize opponents through intense psychic power, reflecting its aggressive nature. Released as part of the Scarlet & Violet series in March 2023, this Uncommon card is marked with regulation symbol G. The artwork by Hitoshi Ariga complements its thematic emphasis on psychological dominance.
