#17 Volbeat - Primal Clash (xy5)

Volbeat is a Grass-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It was released in the XY series as part of the Primal Clash set on February 4, 2015, and is classified as a Common card with the number 17. The card is illustrated by artist Tomokazu Komiya, and its flavor text describes a creature that inhabits clean ponds, emits light at night, and communicates through flashes. Volbeat has two attacks: Acrobatics, which requires one Grass energy to deal 10+ damage and adds 20 damage for each heads when flipping two coins, and Pester, which costs two Colorless energies to deal 30+ damage and increases damage by 30 if the opponent’s Active Pokémon has a Special Condition. It has no resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from this type. The card’s design and mechanics align with its thematic connection to bioluminescent behavior and aquatic environments.
