CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Wailmer uses seawater with an obvious taste for play. It stores some inside its body, then expels it through the nostrils above its eyes to surprise humans. The same water accompanies it when it swims with its mouth open to eat. This large, round body thus alternates between feeding and splashing, with an ease that gives its water jets several uses.

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

A detail worth noticing

This Wailmer's Tsunami first deals 10 damage to the Defending Pokémon. If the coin lands heads, it also hits each opposing Benched Pokémon for 10 damage without applying their Weakness or Resistance. Ram shows 30 damage: the two attacks do not distribute damage in the same way.
