CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Snivy works with light to become more agile. By exposing its tail to the sun, it photosynthesizes, and good sunlight makes its movements faster. Its calm should not be confused with slowness. Beneath this composed attitude, precise mobility develops, supported by a daily relationship between its plantlike tail and solar energy.

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

A detail worth noticing

Sunlight makes Snivy move faster, according to the printed description. Its Slam on this promo relies on two coin flips. Each heads counts for 20 damage: two failures do not hit, while two successes bring the total to 40.
