The card depicts Koga's Kakuna nestled in a serene moment of transformation, its yellow cocoon-like body contrasting against a softly glowing backdrop. With its large, expressive eyes, Kakuna seems to embody a sense of stillness and anticipation, poised on the brink of evolution. The subtle energy radiating from the card hints at the potential that lies within this seemingly dormant state. This snapshot captures the essence of growth and change in the Pokémon world.
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. It now takes 20 Poison damage instead of 10 after each player's turn (even if it was already Poisoned).
