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

Froakie xy9-38 uses one Water Energy to try to Paralyze the opponent's Active Pokémon. The effect occurs on heads, with no damage number printed for this attack. Sanosuke Sakuma illustrated the card. On tails, the player gets neither Paralysis nor a numerical hit.
