Venusaur
Oracle Text
Ability Solar Power: Once during your turn (before your attack), you may use this power. Your Active Pokémon and the Defending Pokémon are no longer Asleep, Confused, Paralyzed, or Poisoned. This power can't be used if Venusaur is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Attack Mega Drain (40): 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.
Card Details
Character Background
Venusaur in Base Set is a classic value engine that rewards control and long-game tempo more than raw aggression. Energy Trans turns every Grass Energy into flexible board resource, letting you patch up a new attacker, accelerate a heavy retreat pivot, or shift Energy onto the Pokémon that can actually threaten a KO next turn. Because the Ability can be used repeatedly before attacking, it pairs especially well with decks built around a single late-game finisher and sturdy early setup Pokémon, such as lines that can absorb hits while Venusaur quietly builds momentum. The key deckbuilding tip is to protect Venusaur from status and keep spare Grass Energy in play, since the power shuts off while it is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. Solarbeam’s 60 damage is respectable but not explosive, so Venusaur wins by outmaneuvering the opponent, smoothing Energy distribution, and turning every attachment into a future advantage.
