Pokemon of the Day

CHIKORITA FROM NEO GENESIS 1ST EDITION

Today's card of the day for PokeSis's 18th birthday (picked by her - Feb. 24th, 2011) is Chikorita from Neo Genesis 1st Edition! To start, this Chikorita card has 50HP and is a Basic Pokemon. Chikorita is 2x weak against fire, and has no resistance. The cost to retreat to the bench is 1 Normal energy. The first attack is Growl. Description: If the defending Pokemon attacks Chikorita during your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Chikorita is reduced by 10 (before applying weakness and resistance). (Benching or evolving either Pokemon ends this effect.) This means if your pokemon tries to deal a 30 damage attack to this Chikorita, 10 damage is taken off from that, so only 20HP damage is dealt. You also need to attach 1 Normal energy to Chikorita for this to work. The last attack is Razor Leaf, one of Chikorita's special attacks. This requires 1 Grass, and 1 Normal energy to be attached to Chikorita to use. Once done, this attack deals 20HP damage. Artwork: This picture shows emphasis as it pulls towards Chikorita in the image of course. There is an excellent use of harmony in the colours. The greens and browns really compliment each other and make the picture seem calm and relaxing. The proportion is also very good, as Chikorita is in the perfect place on the card. 

Happy Birthday PokeSis!
