Wailord

Description

This Wailord card represents the massive Water-type Pokémon known for its sheer size and deep-sea capabilities. As a Stage 1 evolution from Wailmer, it serves as a powerful anchor for players looking to build strategies around high hit points and unique ability effects. With a substantial 200 HP, Wailord is designed to withstand significant damage, making it a durable target in battles. Its key feature is the Sleeping Pulse ability, which offers a strategic advantage: as long as the Pokémon remains Asleep between turns, one damage counter is removed. This mechanic allows for recovery during prolonged engagements, rewarding players who can manage its sleep status effectively. The card’s attacks include Sink Deep, dealing 60 damage with a condition that can put the opponent’s Pokémon to sleep if damage counters are present, adding a layer of tactical depth to its offensive capabilities. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, this Rare card captures the essence of the Pokémon universe’s aquatic giants. Wailord #30 is particularly sought after by those who value high-HP cards and unique ability interactions. Whether you are a competitive player interested in its gameplay mechanics or a collector focusing on the Great Encounters subset, this card offers a tangible connection to the Pokémon Trading Card Game's evolution.
