CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Terrakion appears in Unova's legends as a defender of Pokémon driven from their homes by human conflicts. It is said to have stood against those responsible with enough strength to break a castle wall. The Pokédex credits it with particular determination against those who threaten the small. Its power is therefore not told as a story of conquest: in these accounts, it opens a passage and protects vulnerable beings.

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

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon White credits Terrakion with the strength to break through a castle wall. Pokémon Black places this power in a fight against humans who had deprived Pokémon of their homes. The legend therefore connects a physical feat with a specific cause.
