Curatorial Commentary

“The card depicts Kakuna, a yellow and black cocoon-like Pokémon, set against a green background that suggests a natural environment. Kakuna is positioned centrally, with its distinctive shape and markings clearly visible. The scene conveys a sense of stillness, typical of a Pokémon in a resting or dormant state.”

Secrete Poison

During your opponent's next turn, whenever your opponent's attack damages Kakuna (even if Kakuna is Knocked Out), your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned and Kakuna does 10 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
