CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Aron finds in iron ore the material needed to build the steel armor protecting its body. But its appetite does not always distinguish a mountain from a human structure. Rails and bridges can become meals, causing very real damage around it. Its survival and the inhabitants' buildings thus intersect in one material, valuable for very different reasons.

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

A detail worth noticing

Aron bw6-78's Take Down shows 30 damage for two Energy, Metal and Colorless. In return, Aron does 10 damage to itself every time; no flip cancels that drawback. Sumiyoshi Kizuki illustrated this printing. The offensive number and HP cost are both printed on the same attack.
