Collector Insights

Metapod is a Grass-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. It has two attacks: Tackle, which costs one Grass energy and deals 20 damage, and Defensive Posture, requiring two Colorless energy to flip a coin, granting protection from all damage during the opponent's next turn if heads. The card has no resistances and is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. Its flavor text highlights its tough shell contrasting with a vulnerable interior. Designed by artist Tika Matsuno, this Common rarity card belongs to the Scarlet & Violet series, released as set 151 on September 22, 2023. The regulation mark indicates it is part of the Generation 9 expansion. It lacks any special abilities beyond its defensive effect, emphasizing its role as a defensive counter in gameplay.

Even though it is encased in a sturdy shell, the body inside is tender. It can't withstand a harsh attack.
