Venusaur
Wizards Black Star Promos

#13 Venusaur - Wizards Black Star Promos (basep)

Venusaur is a Grass-type Pokémon with 100 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It features the Solar Power ability, which allows the Active Pokémon and Defending Pokémon to recover from status conditions like sleep, confusion, paralysis, or poison once per turn. The attack Mega Drain costs four Grass energy, dealing 40 damage and removing damage counters from Venusaur based on the Defending Pokémon’s damage taken. Venusaur has a Fire weakness, making it vulnerable to Fire-type attacks with double damage. The card was released in the Base series as part of the Wizards Black Star Promos set in 1999. Artist Ken Sugimori designed the artwork, and the card’s flavor text describes the plant’s behavior of seeking sunlight through movement. This Promo rarity card emphasizes Venusaur’s role in absorbing solar energy to sustain its abilities.
