CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Growlithe combines two attitudes that make more sense together. It can be friendly towards humans it has grown accustomed to, while vigorously defending its territory. Its barking marks this boundary between familiarity and intrusion. The welcoming companion and watchful guardian are the same Pokémon, whose trust develops through the regular presence of those around it.

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

A detail worth noticing

Italian Growlithe No. 17 uses its first attack to deal 10 damage, then switch places with one of your Benched Pokémon. Its other attack strikes for 20 with two Energy. Ken Sugimori illustrated this card; movement concerns your Active Pokémon rather than the one controlled by your opponent.
