Description
Released in 2001 as part of the Neo Discovery expansion, this Pokémon Trading Card Game card features the Colorless-type Igglybuff. Numbered 40 in the set, the card is illustrated by Miki Tanaka and carries an Uncommon rarity designation. With only 30 HP, Igglybuff is a fragile Pokémon on the field, but its strategic value lies in its signature Ability: Gaze. This power allows the player to choose one Benched Pokémon belonging to their opponent that possesses a Pokémon Power, causing that power to stop functioning for the remainder of the turn. This disruption mechanic makes the card a versatile tool in competitive play, capable of shutting down key defensive or utility strategies without dealing direct damage. For collectors, Neo Discovery remains a beloved era in the franchise's history, offering a mix of classic mechanics and nostalgic design. The card represents a significant piece of the early TCG landscape, appealing to those who appreciate the strategic depth of the Neo series. Whether building a complete set or seeking specific interactions for deck construction, this Igglybuff card holds a distinct place in Pokémon card collecting. Its ability to control the board state through power suppression highlights the clever design philosophy of the early 2000s TCG era.

Ability: Gaze
Once during your turn (before your attack), choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has a Pokémon Power. That power stops working until the end of this turn. This effect ends if that Pokémon leaves the Bench.
It has a very soft body. If it starts to roll, it will bounce all over and be impossible to stop.
