CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Froakie maintains a relaxed air while carefully observing its surroundings. Its body, covered in delicate bubbles, seems light and almost carefree, but this covering protects its skin. The contrast defines its presence well: a peaceful appearance accompanies real vigilance. This Pokémon does not necessarily reveal everything it perceives, and its visible gentleness means neither distraction nor a lack of defence.

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

A detail worth noticing

On Froakie sma-SV11, its Ability removes its Retreat Cost while it has Water Energy attached. Flop remains a separate 20-damage attack for two Colorless Energy. sui illustrated this printing: a Water Energy can make leaving easier without increasing the hit's number.
