CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Orbeetle is renowned for its intelligence. Its large brain indicates the strength of its psychic abilities, according to the Pokédex. It notably uses them to scan its surroundings and perceive events far beyond its immediate location. The stated range reaches ten kilometres. Its strange appearance thus accompanies a very concrete means of exploring its environment. The Pokédex explicitly links brain size with the strength of its powers, then quantifies their reach.

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

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Shield gives an unusual measurement for a perceptual ability: Orbeetle can scan a radius of up to ten kilometres with its psychic powers. Pokémon Sword links its brain size with their strength, without presenting this range as mere intuition.
