#81 Metapod - Base Set 2 (base4)
Metapod is a Grass-type Pokémon with 70 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 "Stun Spore." "Stiffen" requires two Colorless energy and allows the player to flip a coin, preventing all damage to Metapod during the opponent's next turn if heads. "Stun Spore" uses two Grass energy to deal 20 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card’s flavor text highlights its vulnerability due to a soft shell exposing its tender body. It was released in the Base Set 2 series in 2000 and is classified as a Common rarity. Artist Ken Sugimori designed the card, which aligns with the Pokémon's thematic characteristics.
