2024 Japanese edition almanac

Roseliaロゼリア

Ability Poison Point

Roselia, 60 HP, Grass, Basic, retreat 1 — one attack, Leaf Step is 10 for a Colourless; the Ability Poison Point — if this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent’s Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned. Sixty HP, one cheap attack, and an Ability that poisons whatever hits it in the Active Spot. The Roselia line exists to punish early chip damage rather than to attack. Tomomi Ozaki.

Roseradeロズレイド

Ability Poison Point

Roserade, 130 HP, Grass, Stage 1, retreat 2 — one attack, Bind Down is 70 for two Colourless; the Ability Poison Point — if this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent’s Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned. Inherits the poison-on-contact Ability and adds a 70-damage lock that stops the Defending Pokémon retreating, which is the closest this set gets to a soft trainer lock. Gapao.

Turtwigナエトル

Ability Solid Shell

Turtwig, 80 HP, Grass, Basic, retreat 3 — one attack, Leafage is 30 for a Grass and two Colourless; the Ability Solid Shell — this Pokémon takes 20 less damage from attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The shell Ability cuts 20 from every attack aimed at it, so a 80 HP Basic plays more like 100 against spread decks. OKACHEKE.

Grotleハヤシガメ

Grotle, 120 HP, Grass, Stage 1, retreat 4 — Cut is 20 for a Grass, and Ramming Shell is 50 for a Grass and two Colourless. Only two attacks, but the second one carries the same 20-damage reduction forward for a turn, letting the line stall through the middle game. Uninori.

Torterra exドダイトスex

Torterra ex, 340 HP, Grass, Stage 2, retreat 4 — Forest March is 30 per heads on a coin flip for a Grass, and Jungle Hammer is 150 for a Grass and two Colourless. 340 HP and a 150-damage attack that also heals 50. The first attack scales with your Grass count, so it is a late-game closer that can still hit for 90 on a thin board. PLANETA Tsuji.

Shayminシェイミ

Shaymin, 70 HP, Grass, Basic, no retreat cost — Pinpoint Dive has no printed damage for a Grass, and Rear Kick is 50 for two Colourless. The 60-damage snipe is aimed squarely at benched Pokémon ex and V, bypassing Weakness and Resistance, which makes it a tech pick against two-prize boards. Atsushi Furusawa.

Cottoneeモンメン

Cottonee, 60 HP, Grass, Basic, retreat 1 — one attack, Triple Spin is 10 per heads on a coin flip for a Grass. Ten damage times three coin flips. A 60 HP Basic with a coin attack is filler, but it is the cheapest Grass body in the set. Kyoko Umemoto.

Whimsicottエルフーン

Ability Wafting Heal

Whimsicott, 100 HP, Grass, Stage 1, retreat 1 — one attack, Seed Bomb is 40 for a Grass; the Ability Wafting Heal — when you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may heal all damage from your Active {G} Pokémon. Evolving heals every Grass Pokémon in the Active Spot outright, then strips their Energy. That is a real reset, at the cost of a turn of tempo. Mizue.

Grotleハヤシガメ

Grotle, 120 HP, Grass, Stage 1, retreat 4 — Cut is 20 for a Grass, and Ramming Shell is 50 for a Grass and two Colourless. Art Rare — the same card as 004, redrawn full-art. The Art Rare printing of the Grotle from this set, with the same 120 HP and the same 20-damage reduction clause. Oswaldo KATO.

Torterra exドダイトスex

Torterra ex, 340 HP, Grass, Stage 2, retreat 4 — Forest March is 30 per heads on a coin flip for a Grass, and Jungle Hammer is 150 for a Grass and two Colourless. The full-art printing of 005. The Super Rare full-art printing of Torterra ex. The 340 HP and the healing 150-damage attack are the same as the plain Double Rare. PLANETA Tsuji.

Heatmorクイタラン

Heatmor, 110 HP, Fire, Basic, retreat 1 — Live Coal is 20 for a Fire, and Licking Flames is 130 for two Fire and a Colourless. 130 damage for three Energy, with a flip that discards your own Energy on tails. A high-variance attacker that gets worse the longer the game runs. Masakazu Fukuda.

Sizzlipedeヤクデ

Sizzlipede, 80 HP, Fire, Basic, retreat 2 — one attack, Heat Dive is 30 for a Fire. Thirty damage and ten to itself. Nothing subtle here, but it is the cheapest way to put a Fire body on the board. Yukiko Baba.

Centiskorchマルヤクデ

Centiskorch, 140 HP, Fire, Stage 1, retreat 3 — Singe has no printed damage for a Fire, and Charring Breath is 180 for two Fire. The 180-damage attack simply fails unless the target is already Burned, so the first attack has to land a turn earlier. Krgc.

Gouging Fire exウガツホムラex

Gouging Fire ex, 230 HP, Fire, Basic, retreat 2 — Heat Blast is 60 for a Fire and a Colourless, and Blaze Blitz is 260 for two Fire and a Colourless. 260 damage on a Basic, gated by a clause that locks the attack while it stays in the Active Spot. Retreating is how you reset it, which is why Rescue Board is in the same set. 5ban Graphics.

Gouging Fire exウガツホムラex

Gouging Fire ex, 230 HP, Fire, Basic, retreat 2 — Heat Blast is 60 for a Fire and a Colourless, and Blaze Blitz is 260 for two Fire and a Colourless. The full-art printing of 012. The Super Rare Gouging Fire ex. The attack lock while it stays in the Active Spot is why the deck runs switching cards. 5ban Graphics.

Gouging Fire exウガツホムラex

Gouging Fire ex, 230 HP, Fire, Basic, retreat 2 — Heat Blast is 60 for a Fire and a Colourless, and Blaze Blitz is 260 for two Fire and a Colourless. Special Art Rare — the same card as 012, redrawn as a full-art picture. The Special Art Rare Gouging Fire ex, drawn by the same artist who handled the set’s Ancient Pokémon art. Teeziro.

Gouging Fire exウガツホムラex

Gouging Fire ex, 230 HP, Fire, Basic, retreat 2 — Heat Blast is 60 for a Fire and a Colourless, and Blaze Blitz is 260 for two Fire and a Colourless. The gold printing of 012. The gold Ultra Rare Gouging Fire ex. Same 230 HP and same 260-damage attack as every other printing. 5ban Graphics.

Totodileワニノコ

Totodile, 70 HP, Water, Basic, retreat 1 — one attack, Big Bite is 10 for a Water. A 70 HP Basic whose only attack also stops the defender retreating. The lock matters more than the 10 damage. MINAMINAMI Take.

Croconawアリゲイツ

Croconaw, 90 HP, Water, Stage 1, retreat 2 — one attack, Reverse Thrust is 30 for a Water. Thirty damage and a free switch back to the Bench, which lets the line evolve without eating an attack. Jerky.

Feraligatrオーダイル

Ability Torrential Heart

Feraligatr, 180 HP, Water, Stage 2, retreat 3 — one attack, Giant Wave is 160 for two Water; the Ability Torrential Heart — once during your turn, you may put 5 damage counters on this Pokémon. Placing five damage counters on itself to add 120 damage is a genuine one-turn burst, but the 160-damage attack then skips a turn, so the line plays as alternating swings. GOSSAN.

Carvanhaキバニア

Carvanha, 50 HP, Water, Basic, retreat 1 — one attack, Wave Splash is 30 for two Colourless. Fifty HP and a two-Energy 30. The weakest body in the Water section, and it evolves into something far more useful. Souichirou Gunjima.

Sharpedoサメハダー

Sharpedo, 120 HP, Water, Stage 1, retreat 1 — Chew Off is 50 for two Colourless, and Jet Headbutt is 100 for a Water and two Colourless. Fifty damage plus up to three random discards from the opponent’s hand is disruptive out of proportion to its cost. Shinji Kanda.

Keldeoケルディオ

Keldeo, 110 HP, Water, Basic, retreat 1 — Rapid Draw is 20 for a Water, and Aqua Blade is 110 for two Water and a Colourless. Twenty damage that draws two cards is a decent early attack, and the 110 follow-up gives the line a real finisher. satoma.

Snomユキハミ

Snom, 50 HP, Water, Basic, retreat 2 — one attack, Powder Snow is 10 for a Water. Ten damage and sleep for one Energy. The point is the Special Condition, not the number. Orca.

Frosmothモスノウ

Frosmoth, 110 HP, Water, Stage 1, retreat 2 — one attack, Freezing Chill is 100 for two Water. One hundred damage that also shuts off the defender’s attacks for a turn. On a Stage 1 with 110 HP, that is a genuine tempo card. rika.

Wiglettウミディグダ

Wiglett, 60 HP, Water, Basic, retreat 1 — Lucky Find has no printed damage for a Water, and Aqua Bomb is 40 for two Water. Its first attack fetches any Item card from the deck, which is unusual on a Basic and makes it a search engine rather than an attacker. OKUBO.

Finizenナミイルカ

Finizen, 80 HP, Water, Basic, retreat 2 — Rain Splash is 10 for a Water, and Sharp Fin is 50 for a Water and two Colourless. Two plain attacks on a 80 HP body. The definition of a line you play for what it evolves into. HYOGONOSUKE.

Palafinイルカマン

Palafin, 150 HP, Water, Stage 1, retreat 2 — Vanguard Punch is 130 for a Water, and Double Hit is 90 per heads on a coin flip for a Water and two Colourless. 130 damage that grows with the damage already on it, plus a two-flip 90-damage attack. Both routes want it damaged, which is an awkward place for a 150 HP Stage 1. DOM.

Walking Wake exウネルミナモex

Ability Azure Seas

Walking Wake ex, 220 HP, Water, Basic, retreat 1 — one attack, Catharsis Roar is 120 and climbs for a Water and two Colourless; the Ability Azure Seas — damage from attacks used by this Pokémon isn’t affected by any effects on your opponent’s Active Pokémon. Its Ability ignores every effect sitting on the opponent’s Active Spot, so damage-reduction Abilities and protective effects simply do not apply. The 120-damage attack doubles up if the target is under a Special Condition. takuyoa.

Snomユキハミ

Snom, 50 HP, Water, Basic, retreat 2 — one attack, Powder Snow is 10 for a Water. Art Rare — the same card as 019, redrawn full-art. The Art Rare Snom. Still 50 HP, still puts the defender to sleep for one Energy. N-DESIGN Inc..

Wugtrio exウミトリオex

Wugtrio ex, 250 HP, Lightning, Stage 1, retreat 1 — Tricolor Pump has no printed damage for a Water, and Numbing Hold is 120 for two Water. A Stage 1 ex with 250 HP that can throw up to 180 damage at any one Pokémon by discarding Energy from hand. The bench snipe is the reason to play it. 5ban Graphics.

Wugtrio exウミトリオex

Wugtrio ex, 250 HP, Lightning, Stage 1, retreat 1 — Tricolor Pump has no printed damage for a Water, and Numbing Hold is 120 for two Water. The full-art printing of 025. The Super Rare Wugtrio ex. Discarding up to three Energy to place 60 damage each anywhere is still the point. 5ban Graphics.

Azumarillマリルリ

Azumarill, 130 HP, Psychic, Stage 1, retreat 2 — Play Rough is 30 and climbs for a Colourless, and Power Tackle is 140 for a Psychic and two Colourless. The 140-damage attack costs it a turn, so the 30-damage coin flip is what you actually use while waiting. Makura Tami.

Bronzorドーミラー

Bronzor, 80 HP, Psychic, Basic, retreat 3 — one attack, Mirror Attack is 10 and climbs for a Psychic. Ten damage, plus 30 more against Psychic Pokémon. A narrow answer that happens to hit the mirror. Kedamahadaitai Yawarakai.

Bronzongドータクン

Bronzong, 110 HP, Psychic, Stage 1, retreat 3 — Evolution Jammer is 30 for a Psychic, and Super Psy Bolt is 100 for a Psychic and two Colourless. Thirty damage that blocks evolution for a turn is the real text; the 100-damage attack is the fallback. Katsunori Sato.

Solosisユニラン

Solosis, 40 HP, Psychic, Basic, retreat 1 — one attack, Surprise Attack is 30 for a Colourless. Forty HP with a coin-flip 30 is the frailest card in the set, and it still sees play because of what it becomes. Cona Nitanda.

Duosionダブラン

Duosion, 80 HP, Psychic, Stage 1, retreat 2 — one attack, Double Trick is 30 per heads on a coin flip for a Colourless. Two flips for up to 60. A placeholder between two better stages. mele.

Reuniclusランクルス

Reuniclus, 120 HP, Psychic, Stage 2, retreat 2 — Summoning Gate has no printed damage for a Colourless, and Brain Shake is 100 for a Psychic and a Colourless. Benching any number of Pokémon from the top eight cards is a genuine board-building attack, and the 100-damage confusion follow-up keeps it from being purely setup. Gemi.

Flutter Maneハバタクカミ

Ability Midnight Fluttering

Flutter Mane, 90 HP, Psychic, Basic, retreat 1 — one attack, Hex Hurl is 90 for three Colourless; the Ability Midnight Fluttering — as long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, your opponent’s Active Pokémon has no Abilities, except for Midnight Fluttering.

Mina Nakai.

Golettゴビット

Golett, 90 HP, Fighting, Basic, retreat 3 — Iron Defense has no printed damage for a Fighting, and Punch is 40 for three Colourless. A coin flip for full immunity is unreliable, but on 90 HP it is the only defence the line has. miki kudo.

Golurkゴルーグ

Golurk, 160 HP, Fighting, Stage 1, retreat 4 — Iron Defense has no printed damage for a Fighting, and Fighting Fist is 120 and climbs for four Colourless. 120 damage plus another 120 against Pokémon ex and V. Four Energy is a lot, but the payoff against two-prize Pokémon is real. Oku.

Attaching a Basic Fighting Energy from the discard pile to every benched Pokémon at once is a mass acceleration effect on a Stage 1, which is rare. Naoyo Kimura.

Rolycolyタンドン

Rolycoly, 80 HP, Fighting, Basic, retreat 3 — Rolling Tackle is 10 for a Fighting, and Power Gem is 30 for a Fighting and a Colourless. Ten and 30 on a 80 HP Basic. Pure line filler. Aya Kusube.

Carkolトロッゴン

Carkol, 110 HP, Fighting, Stage 1, retreat 4 — Knock Away is 20 and climbs for a Fighting, and Boulder Crush is 80 for a Fighting and three Colourless. The first attack is a coin flip for 60 instead of 20, and the second is a flat 80. Middling either way. Anesaki Dynamic.

Coalossalセキタンザン

Coalossal, 180 HP, Fighting, Stage 2, retreat 4 — Gatling Tar is 40 and climbs for a Fighting, and Cragalanche is 150 for a Fighting and three Colourless. Eighty extra damage per Fire Energy attached makes this the set’s Energy-scaling attacker, and 180 HP gives it time to build up. Shiburingaru.

Great Tusk, 140 HP, Fighting, Basic, retreat 4 — Lunge Out is 30 for a Fighting and a Colourless, and Wrathful Charge is 80 and climbs for a Fighting and two Colourless.
