Wormadam

Description

Wormadam is a Stage 1 Fighting-type Pokémon featured as card number 77 in the Brilliant Stars expansion released in 2022. Evolving from Burmy, this Pokémon retains its cloak as a permanent part of its body, a trait highlighted in the set's flavor text. For collectors of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this card provides a distinct mechanical identity within the Fighting category. The card’s gameplay revolves around two primary abilities that interact with the discard pile. Matron's Anger allows players to deal 30 damage plus an additional 10 damage for each Pokémon in their discard pile, creating a scaling threat that grows as the match progresses. Complementing this is Bind Down, which deals 80 damage but imposes a strategic restriction by preventing the defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent's next turn. These mechanics offer diverse strategic options for deck builders looking to control the board state. Designed by Lee HyunJung, this release carries a Rare rarity designation within the Brilliant Stars set. The card bears the Regulation Mark F, indicating its legal status in the standard format at the time of release. With 110 HP and a retreat cost of 2, Wormadam serves as a durable presence on the battlefield. Collectors often seek this card to complete the base set or to utilize its specific attack patterns in custom gameplay scenarios. The Brilliant Stars series remains a popular entry point for both new and experienced players due to its diverse roster and innovative card designs.
