CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Cubone wears its most painful memory on its head. Its departed mother's skull hides its face and accompanies it wherever it goes. When grief returns, its crying resonates inside, turning the helmet into an echo chamber. Its silhouette thus tells of an enduring attachment: the protection we see is also the visible sign of an absence.

A detail worth noticing

This card's description connects Cubone's crying to the skull it wears: the skull echoes when it thinks of its deceased mother. Headbutt deals 10 damage. Bonemerang requires two flips, with each heads adding 20 damage and leaving three possible outcomes: zero, 20, or 40.
