CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Runerigus comes to life when an ancient depiction imbued with a powerful curse absorbs a Yamask's soul. Patterns covering its body retain terrifying memories. Touching its shadow-like silhouette exposes one to their vision, according to the Pokédex. Its origin and contact danger therefore meet in these engraved images: they help animate it while transmitting something terrible to those who approach too closely.

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

A detail worth noticing

Shield warns that touching Runerigus's body makes one experience the frightening memories contained in its patterns. Sword earlier connects its animation with another absorption: a Yamask's soul entering a cursed antique image.
