#109 Absol - Shining Darkness (dp3)
Absol is a Pokémon with 70 HP featured in the Shining Darkness set, released on July 5, 2007. The card is illustrated by artist Ken Sugimori and is classified as a Rare card with the number 109. It possesses two distinct attacks, each with unique mechanics. The first attack, Baleful Wind, requires one Colorless Energy and allows the player to choose a card from the opponent's hand without looking, discarding it. If the discarded card is a Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium card, an additional card from the opponent's hand is discarded. The second attack, Raid, costs one Darkness Energy and deals 10 damage, but its base damage increases to 40 if Absol was played from the hand during the same turn. This card's design reflects its role in the Darkness theme of the set, emphasizing strategic card interactions and conditional effects. Its rarity and set placement highlight its significance within the Pokémon TCG's historical context.
