CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Cyndaquil readily curls up on itself. Yet this timid posture hides a spectacular defense: when it feels attacked, flames rise from its back to protect it. Its reserve and power are not opposites. The little Pokémon does not necessarily seek to impress, but its body has a fiery response when its treasured peace is threatened.

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

A detail worth noticing

Cyndaquil is timid and ignites the flames on its back when threatened. Its Smokescreen deals 10 damage, then hinders the response: if the Defending Pokémon tries to attack on the opponent's next turn, a coin is flipped and tails makes the attack fail. Its defense depends on that later flip rather than gaining HP.

Description from the source

It is very meek and constantly crouches in a defensive posture. When threatened, it protects itself with the flame on its back.

Attacks

Smokescreen

Cost: Fire

Damage: 10

If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
