Collector Insights
Manaphy is a Pokémon card with a base HP of 70, featuring two distinct attacks. The first attack, Dive, requires a single Water energy and allows the player to look at the top seven cards of their deck, select one to add to their hand, and shuffle the remaining cards back into the deck. The second attack, Water Glow, also uses a single Water energy to deal 20 damage to an opponent's Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon, and removing damage counters from Manaphy equal to the inflicted damage. The card is part of the Platinum Promos set, released on October 1, 2008, and is illustrated by artist Masakazu Fukuda. Its rarity is listed as Promo, indicating it was distributed as a special promotional card. The card's design and mechanics align with its role in the Pokémon TCG, emphasizing strategic deck management and direct damage application. The combination of these abilities provides players with options to disrupt their opponent's strategy while maintaining their own resource control.
