#23 Crawdaunt G - Supreme Victors (pl3)

Crawdaunt G is a Darkness-type Pokémon from the Platinum series, featured in the Supreme Victors set released on August 19, 2009. It has 80 HP and requires one Colorless Energy to retreat. The card has no resistances but is weak to Lightning, taking double damage from such attacks. Crawdaunt G possesses two attacks: "Smash Turn" and "Hyper Beam." The "Smash Turn" attack costs one Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage, allowing the player to switch Crawdaunt G with a Benched Pokémon if desired. The "Hyper Beam" attack demands three Energy costs—two Colorless and one Darkness—and deals 40 damage, with an additional effect of discarding an Energy card from the Defending Pokémon if a coin flip results in heads. The card’s design is attributed to artist Wataru Kawahara, and it holds a Rare rarity status with the number 23 in its set. Its mechanics focus on strategic positioning and energy management, reflecting its role in competitive play.
