#49 Binacle - XY Promos (xyp)

Binacle is a Pokémon card from the XY Promos set, released on August 1, 2013, with the card number 49 and a Promo rarity. It has 60 HP and is illustrated by artist Kanako Eo. The card features two attacks: Sand Attack and Mud-Slap. Sand Attack requires one Fighting Energy and prevents the defending Pokémon from attacking during the opponent’s next turn by forcing a coin flip, with tails resulting in the attack having no effect. Mud-Slap demands two Fighting and one Colorless Energy, dealing 40 damage directly to the opponent’s Pokémon. The card’s design emphasizes defensive and offensive capabilities through its energy costs and effects. Its abilities focus on disrupting opponents’ strategies while maintaining a balance between cost and impact. Binacle’s structure reflects the core mechanics of Pokémon TCG battles, prioritizing tactical play and resource management.
