Passimian

Description

Passimian, cataloged as card number 79 in the Burning Shadows expansion, represents a distinct strategic option for Pokémon Trading Card Game enthusiasts. Released in 2017 under the BUS set code, this Basic Fighting-type Pokémon brings 110 HP to the battlefield, offering a balanced durability for early-game aggression. Designed by Kouki Saitou, the card integrates specific mechanics that appeal to players who enjoy resource management and tactical depth. The card’s primary strength lies in its second attack, Intentional Grounding, which deals 90 damage but demands a specific condition: the player must discard a Pokémon Tool card from their hand. If no Tool is available, the attack fails entirely. This design encourages deck builders to include Tool cards strategically, creating synergistic plays that define the card’s utility in competitive and casual formats alike. The first attack, Colorless Punch, provides a reliable 30-damage option that requires no additional resources, making it a flexible choice for consistent damage output. Its Pokédex number, 766, marks it as part of the broader Pokémon universe, appealing to fans who appreciate both the lore and the strategic elements of the TCG. The card’s retreat cost of 1 energy makes it easier to move on the bench, adding to its versatility. For those looking to complete their Burning Shadows collection or add a Fighting-type staple to their decks, this card offers a compelling blend of power and strategic challenge.
