The card depicts Hippopotas, a small, round Pokémon, lounging comfortably in its sandy environment. Its eyes are half-closed, suggesting a moment of relaxation, while a gentle plume of sand escapes from its body, creating a soft, hazy atmosphere. This scene captures the essence of a tranquil day in the wild, where the Pokémon seems at peace, embodying the calmness of its arid habitat. The overall feeling is one of serenity, inviting the viewer to appreciate the simple joys of nature.
The Defending Pokémon is now Asleep.
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
