In this card, Venusaur stands proudly amidst a backdrop of deep blues and greens, its vibrant flower blooming atop its back. The scene captures a moment of tranquility, as if Venusaur is soaking in the sunlight, embodying the essence of nature's harmony. With its sturdy stance and gentle expression, it feels like a guardian of the forest, ready to nurture the life around it. The artwork invites the viewer to appreciate the peaceful coexistence between Pokémon and their environment.
Remove a number of damage counters from Venusaur equal to half the damage done to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance) (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Venusaur has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.
