#33 Kakuna - Base (base1)

Kakuna is a Grass-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It has no resistances but is weak to Fire attacks, which deal double damage. The card includes two attacks: "Stiffen" and "Poisonpowder." "Stiffen" costs two Colorless energy and prevents all damage to Kakuna during the opponent's next turn if a coin flip results in heads, though it does not deal damage. "Poisonpowder" requires two Grass energy, deals 20 damage, and has a 50% chance to poison the defending Pokémon. The card's flavor text describes Kakuna as a creature that hardens its shell to defend itself. It was released in the Base set on January 9, 1999, and is part of the Base series. The artist for this card is Keiji Kinebuchi.
