CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

For Bulbasaur, growing up is an adventure for two. The seed it carries from birth develops alongside it. When it dozes in the sun, this plant reserve benefits from the light too. Its back thus tells a story of shared growth: the small Pokémon moves through life with a plant that accompanies it long before becoming a flower.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Bulbasaur's seed nourishes it for a while after birth, this printing explains. In battle, Shake Vine makes the Defending Pokémon Asleep. Bullet Seed then entrusts its damage to four flips: 10 per heads, giving a result ranging from zero to 40.
