CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Larvitar begins life far from the light, deep underground. To reach the surface and find its parents, it must eat the earth blocking its path. Its first journey is also a prolonged meal. Nutrients drawn from this underground world accompany its growth until a far wider horizon finally becomes accessible.

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

A detail worth noticing

Larvitar neo4-70's first attack can prevent the Defending Pokémon from attacking on the opponent's next turn, but only on heads; Benching or evolving either Pokémon ends the effect. Rock Throw separately deals 20 damage. Ken Sugimori illustrated this printing, where temporary disruption and a direct hit are distinct.
