CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Sudowoodo relies on stillness to escape notice. It takes the appearance of a tree, but its body resembles stone more than wood. This imitation reaches its limits as soon as rain arrives, when it seeks protection. An apparently peaceful piece of scenery suddenly reveals a mobile inhabitant, whose camouflage rests on a resemblance that water alone can undermine.

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

A detail worth noticing

Sudowoodo even has admirers. In Ultra Sun, the Pokédex mentions a magazine devoted to this Pokémon, which is especially popular with older people. Its fans study the length and angle of its arms. A silhouette others mistake for a tree thus becomes a subject of close observation.

Printed card text — English

Quoted source text is retained in the card’s printed language so this exact printing can be identified. The CarDex background above is translated into English.

Attacks

Choose 1 of the Defending Pokémon's attacks. Copy copies that attack. This attack does nothing if Sudowoodo doesn't have the Energy necessary to use that attack. (You must still do anything else required in order to use that attack.)

Energy Draw

Cost: Fighting

Search your deck for a basic Energy card and attach it to Sudowoodo. Shuffle your deck afterward.

Documented variants
