Collector Insights

Vaporeon-EX is a Pokémon with 180 HP, featuring a dual Water and Colorless energy cost structure. Its attacks include Bubble Drain, which requires one Water and one Colorless energy to heal 30 damage from itself, and Deep Squall, needing two Water and one Colorless energy to deal 130 damage minus 10 per damage counter on the user. The card was released as part of the XY Promos set on August 1, 2013, and is classified as a Promo rarity. Artist Naoki Saito designed the card, which belongs to the Pokémon supertype. The card’s mechanics emphasize self-healing and damage manipulation, with Deep Squall offering a dynamic damage calculation based on prior damage counters. Bubble Drain provides a straightforward recovery option, while Deep Squall introduces a strategic element tied to the Pokémon’s current state. This combination of abilities reflects the card’s focus on resilience and adaptive combat strategies.
