Arven's Skwovet

Description

This Basic Pokémon belongs to the Colorless type and carries 60 HP, serving as a foundational element for trainers building around specific strategy types. The card was illustrated by Oswaldo KATO and bears the Regulation Mark I, identifying it within the current standard framework of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Arven's Skwovet distinguishes itself through its unique attack, Colorless Gnaw Through. This move requires only 1 Energy to activate but delivers a powerful disruptive effect. Before dealing damage, the attack forces the opponent to discard all Pokémon Tools from their Active Pokémon. This mechanic allows players to strip away crucial equipment, such as items that boost HP or enhance attacks, leaving the opponent's Pokémon vulnerable to subsequent strikes. With a modest retreat cost of 1, the card offers flexibility, enabling easy switching to protect it or maintain board presence. Collectors value this card for its thematic connection to Arven and its practical gameplay utility. The flavor text notes that Skwovet stores berries in its cheeks, stuffing pebbles in to stave off cravings when berries are scarce—a charming detail that adds personality to the creature. In the broader context of the Pokémon TCG, cards that interact with Pokémon Tools provide versatile tactical options, making Arven's Skwovet a notable inclusion for enthusiasts looking to diversify their decks or complete the Destined Rivals collection.
