Ekans is a Pokémon card from the Mystery of the Fossils set, released on June 21, 1997. It is a Common rarity, numbered 1, with a theme color of #b4ad59. The card features artwork by Kagemaru Himeno. Ekans has two attacks: Spit Poison, which uses Grass energy to flip a coin, potentially poisoning the defending Pokémon, and Wrap, which costs Grass and Colorless energy to deal 20 damage and possibly paralyze the opponent's Pokémon. The card has 40 HP. Its design emphasizes strategic versatility through its dual attack options. The Spit Poison attack relies on a probabilistic effect to apply a status condition, while Wrap combines damage with a chance to disrupt the opponent's play. This card’s mechanics reflect its role in balancing offensive and defensive tactics within the game.
