CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

In the darkness of the ocean depths, Chinchou turns its antennae into a language of light. Their flashes let it communicate where visibility is poor. The same glow can attract prey, giving the signal a second function. Around this small Pokémon, light is never merely a backdrop: it serves to establish contact with its surroundings.

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

A detail worth noticing

Chinchou swsh12-051 by Miki Tanaka pairs a 10-damage attack with a 20-damage attack. The other Chinchou, sv04.5-020 illustrated by yuu, can look at the top card of its deck and put it on the bottom. That intervention in drawing does not appear on swsh12-051.
