CARDEX BACKGROUND

About this Pokémon form

In Galarian Slowbro, Shellder's bite causes a reaction with spices retained inside the Pokémon's body, making the pair venomous. Its distracted manner can disappear before a formidable enemy: a stimulant suddenly activates its nervous system. Slowbro aims the shell attached to its arm and fires toxic liquid, shifting in an instant from absent-mindedness to a lightning-fast response.

Background on this form in the video games; this card’s attacks, edition and finish remain distinct.

A detail worth noticing

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Shell Side Arm is classified as a special move, but its calculation can deal physical damage. The game chooses the option that will hurt the opponent more; the toxic projectile can also poison its target.
