The card depicts Cubone, a small Pokémon, standing alone under a starry sky, evoking a sense of solitude. Its signature skull helmet rests atop its head, adding to its mysterious charm. The gentle glow of the stars creates a serene atmosphere, contrasting with Cubone's evident loneliness. This moment captures the essence of a character navigating its world with both resilience and vulnerability.
If the Defending Pokémon attacks Cubone during your opponent's next turn, any damage done by the attack is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). (Benching either Pokémon ends this effect.)
Does 10 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on Cubone.
