Passimian

Description

The SWSH115 Passimian card is a promotional release from the 2019 SWSH Black Star Promos series, designed for enthusiasts of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Illustrated by Teeziro, this Basic Pokémon card brings a distinct strategic element to the table with its Fighting type and 110 HP. The card's identity is defined by its unique ability, Throwing Coach, which enhances the damage output of Rapid Strike Pokémon attacks against Benched Pokémon V and Benched Pokémon-GX. This mechanic adds a layer of tactical depth, allowing players to control the board and pressure opponents' support units before weakness and resistance are applied. Beyond its ability, Passimian offers a reliable offensive option with the Fighting Fling attack. This move deals 20 damage to a single opposing Pokémon, notably ignoring weakness and resistance calculations for benched targets. With a low retreat cost of 1 energy, the card remains highly mobile, ensuring it can stay in play to utilize its abilities or attack consistently throughout the match. The flavor text reflects the real-world behavior of Passimian, noting that these Pokémon live in cooperative groups where every member has a specific role, mirroring the card's supportive yet aggressive gameplay style. Collectors often seek out this card from the SWSH Black Star Promos series due to its unique promo status and the engaging mechanics it brings to deck building. Whether used in competitive play or kept as a standalone piece for a personal collection, the SWSH115 Passimian represents a solid addition to any Pokémon TCG enthusiast's library. Its design and abilities make it a memorable part of the 2019 promotional releases, appealing to those who appreciate both the lore and the strategic nuances of the game.
