CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Shroomish occupies the least brightly lit part of the forest. In the damp soil, it often stays hidden beneath fallen leaves and feeds on their decay. This discreet setting is both its shelter and its food supply. Its presence reminds us that a forest does not live only in its branches: another kind of activity continues at ground level, among things slowly transforming.

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

A detail worth noticing

Shroomish sm11-5 shows no damage for its only attack. For one Grass Energy, its powder directly Poisons the opponent's Active Pokémon without requiring a coin. Ken Sugimori illustrated this printing. The effect is a Special Condition applied by the attack rather than a printed number to multiply.
