#48 Thievul - Shining Fates (swsh45)

Thievul is a Darkness-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featured in the Sword & Shield series under the Shining Fates set. It is numbered 48 and classified as a Rare Holo card, with artwork by Hideki Ishikawa. The card’s weaknesses include Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. Thievul has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and no resistances. Its primary attack, Call for Goons, costs one Colorless energy and allows the player to search their deck for up to three Basic Pokémon, placing them on the Bench before shuffling the deck. The secondary attack, Corner, requires one Darkness and two Colorless energies to deal 80 damage and prevent the opponent’s Pokémon from retreating during their next turn. The flavor text describes Thievul as a stealthy predator that marks targets with a scent, stalking them to steal from their defenses. This card’s strategic impact lies in its ability to disrupt the opponent’s setup while reinforcing the player’s bench.
