Collector Insights
Dratini is a Pokémon card featuring artwork by Kagemaru Himeno. It belongs to the Base Expansion Pack, released on December 1, 2001, and is classified as a Common rarity. The card’s supertype is Pokémon, and it carries the number 31 in its set. With 40 HP, Dratini’s sole attack is Dragon Smash, which requires one Lightning and one Water energy to use. The attack deals 40 damage but includes a conditional effect: flipping a coin, where tails results in the attack having no impact. This mechanic introduces an element of chance, altering the attack’s effectiveness based on the outcome. The card’s design and mechanics reflect its role within the game’s early expansion, balancing simplicity with strategic variation. Its straightforward yet interactive attack highlights the thematic elements of risk and reward in Pokémon TCG gameplay.
