Description
Orthworm is a Metal-type Pokémon introduced in the Paldea region, appearing as card number 151 in the 2023 Paldea Evolved expansion. This Rare holo card was illustrated by Hitoshi Ariga and carries the Regulation Mark G. In the TCG, Orthworm is a Basic stage Pokémon with 130 HP, designed to leverage Metal Energy for enhanced durability and damage output. The card’s ability, Nutritional Iron, grants Orthworm an additional 100 HP if three or more Metal Energy cards are attached. Its primary attack, Shoot Through, deals 100 damage to the Active Pokémon and an extra 30 damage to one of the opponent's Benched Pokémon, bypassing standard Weakness and Resistance calculations for bench targets. With a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy, Orthworm offers strategic flexibility for deck builders looking to include a sturdy attacker. Collectors of the Pokémon Trading Card Game appreciate this card for its unique mechanical interaction with Metal Energy types. The Paldea Evolved set remains a popular choice for completing the Paldea series, and Orthworm’s specific attack pattern makes it a distinct addition to any collection. Whether you are building a themed deck or adding to your catalog, this card represents a key piece of the 2023 Paldea release.
