Collector Insights

Cubone is a Pokémon card featuring artwork by sowsow, part of the GX Ultra Shiny set released on November 2, 2018. The card carries the number 53 and has a base HP of 60. Its sole attack, Burdensome Bone, requires two Colorless Energy to use and deals 40 damage. The attack’s effect prevents the Pokémon from attacking during the player’s next turn. The card’s design emphasizes its role as a defensive counter, leveraging the temporary restriction to disrupt opponent strategies. The text describes a strategic trade-off, balancing immediate damage with a turn-long drawback. This Pokémon’s mechanics align with its thematic identity as a bone-crushing, resilient trainer. The card’s simplicity in attack structure contrasts with its impactful tactical consequence.
