Avalugg

Description

The Pokémon TCG Evolving Skies Avalugg card, designated as number 45, represents a formidable Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon with 150 Hit Points. Evolving from Bergmite, this card offers collectors a distinct gameplay profile defined by its dual-attack structure. The card features the Frost Barrier attack, which costs one Water, one Colorless, and one Colorless energy to activate. When played, this attack prevents the opponent's Pokémon from dealing 30 damage during their next turn, after applying Weakness and Resistance calculations. This defensive utility makes the card a strategic consideration for builders focused on damage mitigation. Alternatively, collectors can utilize the Hammer In attack, which requires two Water and two Colorless energy. This attack deals 140 damage, providing a potent offensive option when the board state allows for such investment. The card's retreat cost is listed as four Colorless energy, reflecting the Pokémon's heavy, ice-shelled physique. In the official Pokédex, Avalugg is numbered 713, and the card bears the Regulation Mark E, indicating its legality within current tournament standards. Artists like Kouki Saitou contribute to the visual identity of the Evolving Skies set, though the card's mechanical depth lies in its ability to switch between defense and offense. Whether you are tracking the evolution line from Bergmite or analyzing energy-efficient strategies, this card stands as a notable entry in the series. The combination of its HP total and unique defensive attack creates a versatile piece for any Pokémon TCG collection.
