Grotle
Diamond & Pearl

#49 Grotle - Diamond & Pearl (dp1)

Grotle is a Grass-type Pokémon with 90 HP and a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. It features two attacks: "Synthesis," which requires one Grass energy to search the deck for a Grass Energy card and attach it to one of the player’s Pokémon, then shuffle the deck, and "Cut," which costs Grass and two Colorless energy to deal 50 damage. The card has a resistance to Water-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, and a weakness to Fire-type attacks, increasing damage by 20. It is part of the Diamond & Pearl series, released in May 2007, and is classified as an Uncommon rarity card. The Pokémon’s design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, and it corresponds to Pokémon number 49 in the Pokédex. The card’s flavor text describes it as inhabiting waterlogged forests, where it sunbathes its shell during the day. Its strategic utility lies in its ability to bolster energy resources and deal direct damage through its attacks.
