#30 Vaporeon VMAX - Evolving Skies (swsh7)

Vaporeon VMAX is a Water-type Pokémon from the Sword & Shield series, featured in the Evolving Skies set released on August 27, 2021. It has 320 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. The card’s rarity is Rare Holo VMAX, and it is illustrated by 5ban Graphics. Vaporeon VMAX has no resistances but is weak to Lightning, taking double damage from that type. Its primary attack, Bubble Pod, costs one Colorless Energy and allows the player to place a Water Pokémon from their discard pile onto their Bench, then attach up to three Water Energy cards from their discard pile to that Pokémon. The secondary attack, Max Torrent, requires one Water and two Colorless Energy, dealing 100+ damage and adding an additional 100 if the opponent’s Active Pokémon already has damage counters. When Vaporeon VMAX is Knocked Out, the opponent is required to take three Prize cards. This card’s unique mechanics emphasize resource management and strategic energy utilization.
