Starter Deck 100

#221 Medicham V - Starter Deck 100 (si)

Medicham V is a Pokémon with 210 HP featured in the Starter Deck 100 set, released on December 17, 2021. Its design is attributed to artist Satoshi Shirai. The card includes two attacks, Yoga Loop and Smash Uppercut, each with distinct mechanics. Yoga Loop costs two Colorless Energy and allows the player to place two damage counters on an opponent’s Pokémon. If the targeted Pokémon is knocked out by this attack, the player may take an additional turn without skipping the Pokémon Checkup. Additionally, if a Pokémon used Yoga Loop during the previous turn, this attack cannot be used again. Smash Uppercut requires three Energy costs—Fighting and two Colorless—and deals 100 damage. Notably, this attack ignores Resistance, making it effective against Pokémon with defensive advantages. The card’s strategic versatility lies in its ability to disrupt opponents while maintaining offensive potential.
