#3 Metapod - Expansion Pack (expansion-pack)

Metapod is a Grass-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring two distinct attacks. Its first attack, Stiffen, requires two Colorless Energy and allows the player to flip a coin; if heads, it prevents all damage done to Metapod during the opponent's next turn, while any other attack effects still occur. The second attack, Stun Spore, costs two Grass Energy and deals 20 damage, with a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card is part of the Expansion Pack set, released on October 20, 1996, and is classified as a Common rarity. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, it carries a theme color of #a0b35a, reflecting its Grass-type identity. The card’s mechanics emphasize defensive and status-based interactions, offering strategic flexibility in gameplay. Its design aligns with the broader Pokémon TCG’s focus on balanced, thematic gameplay mechanics.
