#38 Poliwhirl - Base (base1)

Poliwhirl is a Water-type Pokémon with 60 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Amnesia, which costs two Water energy and prevents the defending Pokémon from using an attack during the opponent's next turn, and Doubleslap, requiring three energy (two Water and one Colorless) to deal 30 damage multiplied by the number of heads from two flipped coins. The card has a Grass weakness with double damage. Its flavor text describes the Pokémon as capable of living in or out of water, with a habit of sweating to maintain a slimy body when out of water. Poliwhirl is part of the Base set, released in 1999, and is classified as a Uncommon rarity. The card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori and is associated with the Base set's theme. Its themecolor is a light blue shade, reflecting its Water typing.
