#54 Metapod - Legendary Collection (base6)
Metapod is a Grass-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It has two attacks: "Stiffen," which costs two Colorless energy and allows the player to flip a coin, preventing all damage to Metapod during the opponent's next turn if heads, and "Stun Spore," which costs two Grass energy, deals 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 belongs to the Legendary Collection set, released in 2002, and is part of the Other series. The card’s theme color is a muted earth tone, matching its Grass typing. With no resistances listed, Metapod is weak to Fire attacks multiplied by two. Its design by Ken Sugimori aligns with the game’s aesthetic for Pokémon in its evolved form.
