CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Bidoof seems in no hurry to worry. It lives near water, gnaws on trunks and stones, and maintains its incisors this way. Its calm can lead it into villages, where houses sometimes become things to nibble. Its tranquility is not always shared by the inhabitants: what seems an ordinary activity to Bidoof can change their surroundings in very concrete ways.

A detail worth noticing

Bidoof xy5-117's Ancient Trait doubles the healing it receives. Drench deals 20 damage for two Colorless, plus 20 if Water Energy is attached. PLANETA illustrated this card: the offensive bonus checks attached Energy, while increased recovery depends on a separate healing effect.
