#4 Venonat - Shining Darkness (dp3)
Venonat is a Pokémon card from the Shining Darkness set, released on July 5, 2007. It is illustrated by Ken Sugimori and classified as a Common rarity. The card features a Grass-type Pokémon with 50 HP. Venonat has two attacks: Stun Spore and Signal Beam. Stun Spore costs one Colorless Energy and involves flipping a coin, potentially paralyzing the defending Pokémon if heads. Signal Beam requires one Grass Energy, deals 10 damage, and has a 50% chance to confuse the opponent upon landing. Both attacks emphasize strategic play through status effects rather than direct damage. The card’s design reflects Venonat’s signature traits as a Grass-type Pokémon. Its mechanics focus on disrupting opponents through probabilistic outcomes.
