CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Croagunk prepares its attacks with a noise meant to unsettle. The poison sacs in its cheeks produce an alarming sound; when an opponent hesitates, it strikes with its toxic fingers. Yet this Pokémon’s comical appearance and distinctive cry have earned it some popularity. An encounter with it thus brings together two very different impressions: amusement at its silhouette and wariness of its cunning.

A detail worth noticing

Poison Jab on this English Croagunk from Legendary Treasures combines 20 damage with Poisoning the Defending Pokémon. Its text requires no coin flip for that condition. The noteworthy detail is that combination, specific to the card presented here.
