#203 Slither Wing - Paradox Rift (sv4)

Slither Wing is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 140 HP, featured in the Scarlet & Violet series as part of the Paradox Rift set, released on November 3, 2023. It requires three Colorless Energy to retreat and has no resistances, making it vulnerable to Psychic-type attacks with double damage. The card’s design is attributed to artist Takeshi Nakamura and carries an Illustration Rare rarity. Slither Wing boasts two attacks: "Stomp Off," which costs one Fighting Energy to discard the top card of the opponent’s deck, and "Burning Turbulence," a more powerful move that costs two Fighting Energy to deal 120 damage while also inflicting Burn on the opponent’s Active Pokémon. Notably, "Burning Turbulence" also deals 90 damage to itself, creating a self-inflicted drawback. The card’s flavor text references a creature described in an old book, hinting at its enigmatic origins. Its weaknesses and strategic role are defined by its typing and energy costs, aligning with the set’s thematic focus on evolution and mystery.
