Gaps mean no observation; guide estimates and asking prices are not completed sales.Koga's Kakuna stands as a defining Grass-type Stage 1 card within the 2000 Pokémon Gym Challenge set, bearing the distinctive G2 set code and card number 47. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, this Uncommon release is a foundational element for trainers building decks around Koga’s Gym theme. As the evolved form of Koga's Weedle, the card offers strategic depth through its HP value of 60 and a modest retreat cost of 2, allowing for flexible positioning during gameplay. The card’s primary mechanical identity revolves around its signature ability, Emerge. This ability allows players to flip a coin; if successful, they can search their deck for Koga's Beedrill and place it directly onto Koga's Kakuna. This mechanic provides a unique shortcut for evolution strategies, distinguishing it from standard evolution paths. Additionally, the card features the Grass Toxic Secretion attack, which carries a risk-reward dynamic. By flipping a coin, players can Poison the Defending Pokémon, significantly increasing the damage taken each turn to 20, a notable boost over the standard 10 damage. For collectors of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Koga's Kakuna represents a nostalgic look at the Game FREAK era of design. Whether you are completing the G2 checklist or seeking specific cards for competitive deck construction, this Uncommon variant remains a recognizable and sought-after piece. The combination of Ken Sugimori’s artistry and the card’s functional gameplay mechanics makes Koga's Kakuna a staple in any serious Pokémon TCG collection.

(This counts as evolving Koga's Kakuna.) Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Koga's Kakuna is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Attack: Toxic Secretion
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. It now takes 20 Poison damage instead of 10 after each player's turn (even if it was already Poisoned).
