Collector Insights

Tarountula is a Grass-type Pokémon with 40 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: "String Haul," which costs one Colorless energy and allows the player to flip a coin, switching in an opponent’s Benched Pokémon if heads, and "Bug Bite," a Grass-type attack dealing 10 damage. The card’s flavor text highlights its elastic threads, capable of deflecting attacks from its natural predator, Scyther. It has no resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such types. The card was released in the Scarlet & Violet set on March 31, 2023, and is part of the Scarlet & Violet series. Artist Tika Matsuno designed the illustration, and the card carries a Common rarity. Its regulation mark is labeled as G, indicating it is a standard-legal card.

The ball of threads wrapped around its body is elastic enough to deflect the scythes of Scyther, this Pokémon's natural enemy.
