#2 Forretress ex - Paldean Fates (sv4pt5)

Forretress ex is a Grass-type Pokémon ex with 270 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy. It boasts the ability Exploding Energy, which allows the player to search their deck for up to five Basic Grass Energy cards and attach them to their Pokémon during their turn, followed by shuffling the deck. This ability also causes the Pokémon to be Knocked Out if used. The card’s attack, Guard Press, costs two Grass Energy and deals 120 damage, reducing the opponent’s next turn damage by 30 to this Pokémon. It has no resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. The Tera rule grants it protection from all damage while on the Bench, enhancing its defensive capabilities. As a Double Rare card from the Paldean Fates set, it was released in January 2024. Its artist is 5ban Graphics, and it belongs to the Scarlet & Violet series.
