CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Bidoof seems in no hurry to worry. It lives near water, gnaws on trunks and stones, and maintains its incisors this way. Its calm can lead it into villages, where houses sometimes become things to nibble. Its tranquility is not always shared by the inhabitants: what seems an ordinary activity to Bidoof can change their surroundings in very concrete ways.

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

A detail worth noticing

Nothing seems to trouble this Bidoof, whose description emphasizes strong nerves and little-known agility. With Amnesia, the player selects one of the Defender's attacks, preventing its use on the next turn. Scavenge returns a chosen Trainer card from the discard pile to the hand. Both actions change available options without stating damage.
