Phantasmal Flames / #103/94
Printed language: English · Pokémon
CARDEX BACKGROUND
Toxtricity produces a guitar-like sound when it scratches the protrusions on its chest. This movement generates electricity, rather than merely making noise. One entry also describes aggressive, quick-tempered individuals that drink stagnant water to absorb its toxins. These behaviours bring together three apparently distant elements: a musician’s movement, the production of current and a search for harmful substances. The sound accompanies very real electrical activity.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.Pokémon Sword explains that Toxtricity’s apparent guitar chord comes from scraping its claws across its chest and is accompanied by electric current. Pokémon Shield describes a less musical habit: it drinks stagnant water to extract its toxins.
Quoted source text is retained in the card’s printed language so this exact printing can be identified. The CarDex background above is translated into English.
As it scatters toxic sweat and emits electricity, a melody that sounds like it came from a guitar reverberates through the surrounding area.Ability
