CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Glimmora bears crystalline petals formed from toxic energy. If it detects danger, it opens them and fires beams from the conical part of its body. Researchers recently noted a resemblance between these petals and jewels associated with Terastallization. The Pokédex notes this similarity without claiming the two objects are identical. The spectacle of an opening flower thus conceals an active defense, while its petals' structure raises a question still under study.

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

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Violet states that Glimmora's petals are crystallized poison energy and resemble Tera Jewels. Pokémon Scarlet specifies that, when alerted, it spreads them before projecting beams from its conical body.
