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 sm8-115 starts at 10 damage for two Colorless Energy. If the opponent's Active Pokémon already has at least three damage counters, the same attack adds 70 to reach 80. SATOSHI NAKAI illustrated this card: the bonus checks the target's injuries before the hit without requiring a coin flip.
