#80 Dedenne - SWSH Black Star Promos (swshp)

Dedenne is a Psychic-type Pokémon from the Sword & Shield series, featured in the SWSH Black Star Promos set. It has an HP of 70 and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. The card’s attack, Mad Party, requires one Psychic and two Colorless energies to use, dealing 20 damage multiplied by the number of Pokémon in the discard pile with the same attack. This unique mechanic ties the card’s power to the player’s discard pile, emphasizing strategic resource management. Dedenne’s flavor text describes its whiskers as both sensory organs and electrical emitters, reflecting its dual functionality. The card carries a Metal weakness with double damage, making it vulnerable to certain strategies. With a Promo rarity and numbered 80 in its series, it is a collectible highlight. Artist Yuu Nishida’s design captures the Pokémon’s distinctive features, while its regulation mark indicates specific tournament guidelines. The card’s simplicity in playstyle contrasts with its nuanced interaction mechanics.
