Breloom

Description

Released in 2017 as part of the Shining Legends expansion, this Pokémon trading card game card features Breloom, a Stage 1 Grass-type evolved from Shroomish. Card number 5 in the set, it carries a Common rarity designation and was illustrated by Mizue. With 110 HP, this card offers a solid defensive presence for collectors and players alike. Breloom’s gameplay capabilities are defined by two distinct moves. The Grass Hibernation Spore attack puts the opponent's Active Pokémon to sleep, adding a strategic layer where the opponent must flip two coins to wake up rather than one. This mechanic can prolong the status effect if a coin lands on tails, making it a disruptive tool in matches. Alternatively, trainers can opt for Magnum Punch, dealing 80 damage for three Colorless energy. The card requires a retreat cost of two energy, reflecting its sturdy but somewhat slow nature. For Pokémon TCG enthusiasts, completing the Shining Legends set is a popular collecting goal. This Breloom card is an essential component for those assembling the full collection. While its Common rarity makes it accessible, its role in the set and its functional design make it a valued addition for both casual players and dedicated collectors. The card’s straightforward energy requirements and reliable damage output highlight the balanced design typical of the era.
