#19 Seadra - Plasma Freeze (bw9)
Seadra is a Water-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its sole attack, Smokescreen, requires one Water energy to deal 20 damage and prevents the defending Pokémon from attacking during the opponent’s next turn if a coin flip results in tails. The card’s flavor text highlights its spines as a natural defense mechanism and notes its fins and bones are valued in traditional medicine. Designed by artist Kyoko Umemoto, Seadra belongs to the Black & White series and was released as part of the Plasma Freeze set on May 8, 2013. The card carries an Uncommon rarity rating and has no resistances, making it vulnerable to Lightning-type attacks with double damage. Its simplicity in design and straightforward mechanics align with the set’s focus on balanced gameplay. This Pokémon’s strategic utility lies in its ability to disrupt opponents’ turn-based tactics.
