Collector Insights
Thwackey is a Grass-type Pokémon with 100 HP. It has a retreat cost of two Colorless energy and is weak to Fire attacks, which deal double damage. The card features two attacks: "Beat" costs one Grass and one Colorless energy to deal 30 damage, while "Ambush" requires two Grass and one Colorless energy to strike for 50 damage plus an additional 30 if a coin flip lands heads. Thwackey’s abilities are limited to these offensive options, with no special resistances or abilities listed. The card is part of the Sword & Shield series, released in February 2020, and is classified as an Uncommon rarity. Artist Akira Komayama designed the card, and its flavor text highlights Thwackey’s competitive nature, emphasizing its rhythmic drumming as a means of earning peer respect. The card’s regulation mark is designated as D, and it is numbered 13 in its set.
The faster a Thwackey can beat out a rhythm with its two sticks, the more respect it wins from its peers.
